 > I am against having the site icon in just customizer. [Chat examples]

 I was originally against adding it to the Customizer because we already
 had a working settings version and there was no real preview in the
 Customizer. That is no longer the case. Bringing cropping and the icon
 preview into the media modal for the settings version made both versions
 identical, so having both just feels redundant. I'd encourage you to test
 the latest patch and see how it feels in the customizer.

 > I personally wanted both only because of the reaction of so many people
 to the customizer.
 "Many end users of WordPress are non-technically minded. They don’t know
 what AJAX is, nor do they care about which version of PHP they are using.
 The average WordPress user simply wants to be able to write without
 problems or interruption. These are the users that we design the software
 for as they are ultimately the ones who are going to spend the most time
 using it for what it was built for."

 "So while we consider it really important to listen and respond to those
 who post feedback and voice their opinions on forums, they only represent
 a tiny fraction of our end users."
