Illustrator Easter Eggs?

Way, way back in the day, the Illustrator status bar had a cool easter egg where you could add these eyes that followed the mouse pointer.

More work-related ... Photoshop can show document dimensions with that menu. Is there a reason Illustrator can't? Hey, Adobe, how come similar features across products are so different? This isn't a criticism -- I'm legitimately curious if there's a reason or a conscious decision or if it's just ... it happens.

That's just the result of different teams and a different code base. So even when a feature is cool and could actually be applied to the kind of documents (vector vs. pixels), it's still impossible, because copy/paste just does not work with this.
