So do I. However, the light is activated by a switch that is activated by the parking brake handle only. And since the handle is attached to a cable that is attached to a control valve that is attached to a pressure reducer that is attached to a distribution valve, the light only tells me that the handle is pulled.

If I want to know if the parking brake is set or released I look at the brake pressure indicator. Not many people do that.
