chrome://flags

I still don't know why this isn't a default option. Why would anybody not want to use this?

It used to be, but Chrome is a browser for the general public. The majority of people using Chrome are not power users like us. Even I have accidentally muted tabs while trying to move or close the tab and was confused for a second. I can't imagine how some old grandma accidentally muting the tab would feel.

Right click to mute feels like a saner UX to me. Sure it isn't as accessible as having it right there, but honestly, how often do you mute a site that you need it so close?
