About prettiness: for example "Orientation lock" and "Flight mode" could
be easily put on same row, making space for other icons.

About need to rotate itself. Here I'd answer with question, why don't we rotate 
indicator bar then?  Because you can argue that indicator bar is probably first 
place user will go to check and change basic settings, especially movie related 
(brightness, volume), using settings application for more complex tasks, when 
rotation won't be anymore hindrance anyway. 
Few more points to support the idea of not rotating:
 - as it happens setting from first page of the settings application is 
landscape mode are all accessible from indicator bar 
 - just the process to task away from one application and to start/task to 
Settings application will probably make user to rotate the phone anyway, since 
gestures will not be in natural place....
