While what you say is true, i.e. -

─[$] cat /etc/xdg/autostart/onboard-autostart.desktop | grep NoDisplay
     5	NoDisplay=true

But it's untrue that it is not displayed in MATE 'Startup Application
Preferences' as had shared  the screenshot yesterday.

Also, for sake for argument, why should it not be displayed ? It is a
legitimate service (for blind people hence accessibility) as well as
for people whose keyboard goes wonky (has happened once or twice in
the past) and not able to change keyboards in a jiffy. So it's a type
of self-insurance.

Also, it's part of the MATE universe so it should have a description
when it's installed, do know it comes from Priorty: 'optional' suite.

Look forward to having it fixed.
