As phrased your suggestion to stop using icon menu bars is unhelpful. What should we be using instead and why?

Text. You can scan it in an instant. It takes orders of magnitude longer to hover over each icon, wait for the tooltip, repeat for the more obscure ones.

I prefer the icon menu bars with text underneath the icons. iOS Apps use this a lot:

FWIW the icons do have text labels and even descriptions when you hover over them.

I'm hovering with my finger on my phone and I don't see text labels. /s

How is this sarcastic? I hate when info like that isn't accessible on mobile devices.

Sorry I wasn't more helpful. See Jacob's reply. Keep doing what you are doing! No discouragement was intended.
