Nobody knows how often anyone does anything with Ubuntu, so it would be unreasonable to cite that as a reason not to implement this particular setting.
Use cases include:
* A PC at an Internet cafe, which therefore has no speakers.
* A point-of-sale terminal where the only sound is a beep, so it's not helpful to change volume frequently (or at all).
* My brother-in-law who has an old Mac in the garage solely for playing music, so the only volume control he needs is the one in the music player itself.
I wrote "1. Try to work out how to hide the sound menu" not as a problem, but as the step to reproduce the bug.
The sound menu is *already* a "group indicator", so hand-waving "group indicators" does not solve anything. If you have a specific alternative suggestion, then present it. But if it's inconsistent with the method of turning off the clock menu and the battery menu, then that will be a strike against it.
