You're treating this as evidence the location services indicator can't possibly be inhibited currently, laughable.

No, they're saying that this is evidence that it is currently not inhibited, and even called out that this may not always be the case.

Except it's not evidence of that at all. It's only evidence that this particular location services user didn't attempt to inhibit the indicator.

There can just as well be existing location services users, currently using location services without your knowledge, when you're relying on a flashing widget on the screen as your source of truth.

Evidence, not proof.
