Big Sur Lock Screen and Wifi in Menu Bar

"Big Sur Lock Screen and Wifi in Menu Bar: The wifi is disabled. I mentioned that already. I ended up fixing it. Enable Wifi and disable it again. In the Lock Screen, it now shows disabled."

As is Fine:

It is showing, because it is added to the menubar. If not using Ethernet, and you disable WiFi, it will show, but dulled-out with a diagonal line through it. So, all is fine.

"Big Sur Lock Screen and Wifi in Menu Bar: Hi, I was just curious. My Wifi is disabled by choice. I'm using ethernet. But why is a Wifi icon showing up in the menu bar and it's lit like it's connected. 2019 MacBook Pro, 2021 iMac M1"

Why the Icon?

It is showing up because WiFi is enabled. So, disable it, and all would go away. All is fine.
