> easier to find in moments when speed is of the essence

This is, for me, categorically untrue, it's quite the opposite. I am sure it must vary from person to person. I find myself wondering whether people tolerate or like icons-only because they would find the actual reading of an array of text buttons fatiguing. I'm not better than someone who finds reading more time consuming or difficult than I do, but I do kind of resent that UIs appear to be designed to cater to the less literate, because of how slow it is for me to pick the correct icon out of 7 very similar ones.

It's especially bad because these should just be preferences. Give me text and lose the icons altogether. Others should be free to have icons.
