Modern monochrome line-art icons are an entirely separate trainwreck to be honest. They're incredibly difficult to parse and distinguish.

It very much feels like we've fallen into the same trap medieval handwriting did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minim_(palaeography)#/media/Fi... -- building designs around what looks aesthetically uniform and cool rather than what is easy to parse and use.

And the fact that they are changed every couple of years, doesn't help either.

Indeed. It's all fashion nowadays. It's a form of aestheticism which I believe is closely linked to religiousness. There is a lot to develop but you can already observe than a lot of people have an approach to technology that isn't too far from the approach to "god" related things.
