Why isn't silent mode clearly displayed on screen

Why isn't silent mode clearly visible on screen when on. All there seems to be is a tiny red indicator on the tiny switch.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

Silent Mode Frustration Could there not be an icon displayed to show the status of Silent Mode. Perhaps a red bell for no sound, a yellow bell for vibrate, and a green bell for on. Very frustrating that the status cannot be determined by looking at the screen.

Missing "Silent mode" in Control center in iOS 18 I have recently decided to clean up my control center, delete everything and start from scratch. However, when it came to "Silent mode on/off switch" I could not see it in the list of available options. Perhaps, I am missing something, but it seems that this option was not added.

Because it’s not. No one here can address the question of why Apple made the design decision they did.
