If you send an M3 S1000 then you get a status report with A:S to tell the GUI that the spindle is turned on.
But if you then send M5 to turn the spindle off, there is no accessory status report, because all the accessories are turned off.
It would be better if the accessory state were reported in response to changes even if all accessories are turned off (e.g. send a A:) so that the GUI can discover that the spindle has been turned off.

One workaround, if you don't have flood coolant, is to turn on flood coolant with M8 so that you then always get accessory status reports of A:F, and then when the spindle is turned on you get A:SF and when it's turned off it goes back to A:F.
The same bug exists with the Pn status: Grbl will report when a pin becomes activated, but won't report when the last pin became inactive, because reporting pin state is gated behind a check of whether any pins are active.
Update: I was incorrect about the pin states as they are reported on every update even if there have been no changes (so you know the probe pin is not active if you don't see any Pn report)
