Native element fields that are mandatory and required but are not requirable should show the required indicator *

I'm creating a custom Element with native fields.

The native field is must be added to the FieldLayout (mandatory) and requires a value (required).

Setting requirable to false ensures the user cannot disable the required option.

However this also hides the * required indicator:

Which is due to these lines:

Setting the requireable value to true shows the indicator but allows the user to change the required property and make the field optional:

I've worked around this in some of my fields by overriding the selection indicators

I'm wondering if there's a better way to support this use case or is my override the only way.

Sidenote…

It would be good if the $indicators array had a key so it was easier to add / remove an indicator

protected function selectorIndicators(): array
{
    $indicators = [];

    if ($this->requirable() && $this->required) {
        $indicators['required'] = [
            'label' => Craft::t('app', 'This field is required'),
            'icon' => 'asterisk',
            'iconColor' => 'rose',
        ];
    }

This is working as expected. The indicators should only be used for things that the user has customized on the field layout element.
