Comment:

 It's `manage_options` because the feature is global (an `option`), not
 theme-specific (`theme_mod`). If needed based on personal usage, the
 required capability can be changed via a plugin doing something like:
 {{{
 add_action( 'customize_register', function ( $wp_customize ) {
         $wp_customize->get_setting('site_icon')->capability =
 'edit_theme_options';
 }
 }}}

 I don't think we should change it in core, though.
