I would definitely consider this. Actually I originally had it implemented this
way. Video proof:

It wasn't really popular among other contributors for good reasons. The
designers didn't like that there is a separate toggle option for removing
something from a toolbar when we already have a way for that especially because
most users are probably not interested in moving their location bar. Developers
didn't like that I was messing with the toolbar configuration of users because
this is a bit dangerous because it can put a users configuration in a state so
Dolphin crashes on every start. It's also somewhat tricky to implement in
general for something that doesn't seem extremely important.

Please open another bug report if you want to re-ignite that discussion. I
wouldn't want to re-implement this unless there seems to be some consensus and
demand.
