Thanks for this report. It’s true that putting vibration settings in a
category called “Sound” seems awkward. However, that doesn’t mean
there’s a better place to put them. There are good reasons to put them
with sound settings, and bad reasons to put them in other places
suggested.
Fairly often, when you change whether/which sound happens for something,
you will want to change whether/which vibration happens for the same
thing. (Especially since on many devices, vibration is actually noisy.)
So having those settings next to each other is convenient.
Meanwhile, it’s unlikely that there will be a “User Interface” panel in
future, because many people aren’t familiar with that term. (It’s more
likely that there will be an “Appearance” panel, but vibration settings
would fit just as awkwardly under that name, poor Ubuntu precedents
notwithstanding.) And vibration has little or nothing to do with
“Accessibility”.
One possibility would be to rename “Sound” to “Sound & Vibration”, but
we already have three category names with ampersands (“Language & Text”,
“Time & Date”, “Security & Privacy”), and I’d like to avoid more.
This situation is similar to the current placement of “Updates” and
“About This Device” inside System Settings: neither of them are actually
system settings, but on a small device there doesn’t seem to be a better
place for them.
