It's funny how that accessibility icon bugs me as well. The way I see it, all the other things in the panel are something I want and use, but that thing alone is completely useless. I'm glad there's a way to get rid of it now.

I'm curious why it took so long. Which people were against this improvement and why?

I suspect that the extension's existence drives the priority of having it in core way down.

Not merely existence but the high popularity of it. GNOME developers seem to keep an eye on that. They also enable accessibility by default in recent versions and included hot keys to toggle accessibility features and that make the accessibility icon pretty redundant
