I'm confused

Will GNOME’s new Status Icons ad-on support all of the same tray icon that Ubuntu’s kStatus/AppIndicator extension does?

I haven’t been able to test it to find out for sure, but it doesn’t appear to support App Indicators, which is the most commonly-used tray icon spec on Linux…

So ... If this new extension doesn't add tray icons/menus for apps like Zoom, what's the point of it? What features does it add over stock Gnome?
- Stock GNOME doesn't have tray icons. If your distribution does show them, they probably preinstalled an extension for you (like Ubuntu does).
  
  Thanks, I'm aware, but that wasn't my question.
  
  This new extension doesn't seem to add support for app indicators.. so what is it for?
