Comment:

 This was mentioned in a recent Media component bug scrub. This ticket
 seems to still have a valid need for a fix Core side, but has not seen
 attention for a bit of time. I think we could maybe learn from the fix
 that was added plugin side to inform what next steps we need for this
 ticket.

 Mentioned by @joedolson in the scrub "One risk to keep in mind is that
 creating an exception could run into problems if changes happen to how
 site icons should be presented in contexts not handled by core. It creates
 a surprise behavior in the function if it doesn't work the same way on all
 images."
