they're right, though. You can only convey so much with icons. Eventually the icons can become misleading because they fail to convey their intended meaning.
Some of these icons are completely wrong like the "Unpin" icon: The icon is just a pin and thus unintentionally implies that it's for pinning rather than unpinning.
Another example is the "Move Tab" and "Change Tab(s) To Workspace" icon: It looks just like a "data transfer"-esque icon, so that icon already lost its intended meaning. Furthermore, they share the exact same icon, so that alone disqualifies what it stands for.
