I also really like GNOME the software but I moved away a few months ago because of this.

As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now. They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.

Important features and bug fixes are always stuck in merge request limbo for years. VRR for Wayland got merged recently after 4 years and it's still experimental. DRM leasing is still missing on Wayland, KDE added it 3 years ago.

The final straw was when KDE announced HDR support last year I switched over because I knew GNOME would probably lag behind by months or even years.

So what, just use the extension. Currently no cross-desktop API for systrays that doesn't suck in one or another way exists, so GNOME doesn't have support for them. If you care that much about not using an extension, implement it for yourself.

Or, use KDE. Which does it all without any extension, even if the current API sucks.

It's not acceptable to me to require a third party extension to achieve a basic useable desktop environment.

Yeah, just because the api is not perfect, to just not support it, is no solution. With that argument you can just skip most interop api, as they all have pain points.
