 Default is used for any other filetype. There are tons of proprietary file
 types that you may need to upload depending on your field of work
 (especially when using WordPress for an internal site); some I use
 frequently include: `.mus, .asv, .m, .sbd, .rvt, .dwg, .gx, .mx`, and
 others. Devs can tweak filters to allow any of these to be uploaded to
 WordPress, and the default icon gets used for them then. Though it's not
 super common, there are situations where it makes sense to upload these
 file formats to public or private sites (note that `.psd` is another
 unspecified format).

 These can be literally anything, so the icon needs to be generic, but it
 is basically a placeholder. Of the formats listed above, they range from
 music notation files to structural analysis files, to architectural design
 files. The old crystal icon looks like it's inspired by Windows'
 generic/unknown file format icon.

 In terms of toning the icons down to fit within their context, I think
 tweaking the color/opacity would be good (I was assuming they weren't
 intended to stay black). One benefit to the document container is that it
 unifies these icons as a set, while potentially allowing them to be
 similar to other related Dashicons.
