Which significant applications don't have a tool bar at all,
i.e. don't even have an option to display a tool bar?

By what logic?
The tool bar in Emacs is very like the menu bar: it provides quick and
easy access to some frequently-used functions. Which application
doesn't have any such function to justify the lack of a tool bar?

So your suggestion is to have _both_ the frame-global tool bar and
another tool bar displayed in some windows? That'd be fine with me
(we already have some modes display a header-line, which is a kind-of
tool bar, and we now have the tab-line as well, so we have similar
functionality already).
