I agree that this would be a valuable feature to add, not just to DrRacket
but to `racket/gui` in general. It seems the blinking behavior is
controlled with a hard-coded interval here:
https://github.com/racket/gui/blob/aa5ebfec7402bdcbc3813f822caedb4a3ceb2c4c/gui-lib/mred/private/wxme/editor-canvas.rkt#L84-L104
Probably the hard part of a solution would be detecting the user's
preference properly across platforms.

In the meantime, I think it would be possible for a DrRacket plugin
<https://docs.racket-lang.org/tools/Extending_the_Existing_DrRacket_Classes.html>
to use `drracket:get/extend:extend-interactions-text` and
`drracket:get/extend:extend-definitions-text` to override the `blink-caret`
<https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/editor___.html#(meth._(((lib._mred%2Fmain..rkt)._editor~3c~25~3e)._blink-caret))>
method with a no-op.
