To add some information which might be valuable:

If the option does not appear in the indicator, then it has already not been there since boot time. If it is available at boot, it won't disappear. If it's not available at boot, it won't appear later.

This is being reported more often and on all hardware
The check that the device supports autobrightness seems unreliable.
