Fundamentally the fact that there’s anything to think about is an abject failure of why they put the icons there in the first place.

I think what happened here is obvious: there’s a very longstanding software design pattern that was broken by a perfectly sensible hardware controller design. The solution is likely to just stop using that software pattern. Make analogous icons or whatnot.
