In a input field there is leading and trailing composables which can be used for icons
The same could be implemented for text by yourself
We should stop thinking in traditional way where for every situation there is a custom view
Compose is dynamic

Yes, TextView compound drawables is one specific API we did not want to repeat in compose 🙂 it was a great example of a view doing far too much beyond its core responsibility instead of encouraging composition of simpler elements
