The addition of buttons to the toolbar is a simple process (adding a line to an
xml file), while the addition of a split button is a more difficult process
(requires development work to achieve). I have been the one working on the
toolbars in 4.4 and 5.0 and have been trying to unify them across apps.

A user has the ability to customize their toolbars to their needs, so if you
dont care for the strike through, you can easily hide it, but presently there
isnt any toolbar code available for a underline split button, so that is why it
hasnt been added and this bug report will be used to hopefully achieve it, once
a developer decides to take on this task.
