Definitely an annoyance. At some point, I had a setup that had a BUNCH of that, several different programs, going on. Within a couple updates, it appeared to be addressed by developers. Speaking firsthand: Accessibility wise, it's cognitively related to a program's usability. If this was me, I'd track down where the icons should be, and see if there's some way to send in a patch so the developers don't have to do this in addition to the serious coding. No, I don't know where to look just this second. I started to try to do the same back when I encountered it, but never got through the process to be able to suggest where to start and finish......
