That’s more low level, STATUS is for example useful if output is hung and the user wants to see what is happening. This is for if the user isn’t looking at the particular terminal but the title/tab/notification wants to reflect an overall status.
Why couldn’t the terminal just run the termios STATUS and use that to update the title/tab/notification? Linux doesn’t completely support STATUS, but it does exist. I’m not sure about other platforms.
