Well, Windows is an important platform but it is not the only one we care about. On Ubuntu 22 the editable text field has the blinking cursor and non-editable has a non-blinking - to indicate that text can not be entered or changed but can be selected and copied and that's just one of examples of the difference in behaviour on different platforms. Based on that i would say that as a common ground i propose the non-blinking cursor on non-editable text components and if some platform needs an adjustments - we can always file a bug and override that in the platform-specific LaF like AquaCaret does.
