Personally, I am rather tired of blue LEDs used as indicator
lights. They're too darned bright. I have put masking tape over
some of them (others I have been able to turn the other way) so
they aren't so bright.
Yes, they can be very annoying. A new firewire disk enclosure I
recently bought has one for disk access (the power light is a less
annoying green) and it's way too bright.
I have two exterior disk enclosures which use them for that
purpose.* Plus I recently had to replace an old amplified TV antenna
with one which turned out to have a blue LED to indicate when the
amplification was turned on. Hardly need to light the room any more . . .

*The default indicator on the new graphics tablet is also blue, but
it changes color depending on what the tablet is doing. And it is
indirect, so it is not quite so annoying as the others . . .
