Cursor blinking in TextView

Platform
1

Hello.
When TextView (Gtk4) is not editable (editable property set to False) the cursor inside view is not blinking.
Why so?
It is observed in Gtk4 Demo app. In section TextView->Hypertext the cursor is blinking (view is editable) and in section TextView->Markup the cursor is not blinking (view is not editable)

This is intentional, and it makes sense to me. A blinking cursor implies waiting for input.

The core behavior dates back to 2005: Don't blink the cursor if the text view is not editable. (50ba0e23) · Commits · GNOME / gtk · GitLab
