True, but they are very convenient for a lot of people, hence toolbars' 
popularity.

As an exercise you might look at huge icon collections and see what springs 
out at the visual user?

http://www.iconbazaar.com/document/
http://www.iconbazaar.com/computer/pg01.html
http://www.free-clipart-archive.com/

The last one has over 5000 icons categorized/downloadable.

For an icon to become an "ICON" it must proliferate - whatever gets chosen 
*becomes* iconic.
