Comment:

 Looking at this again, I don't think the Site Language icon should be
 removed, for the reason stated in comment:1.

 We could add icons to every other item on Settings screens, though I don't
 think we can realistically support that in the long term:
 * Some items might not have a suitable icon, or might have duplicate
 icons.
 * Even if we do manage to find a suitable icon for every item, plugins
 will always have settings pages without icons, leading to further visual
 inconsistencies.
 * Some might argue that extra icons increase cognitive load without adding
 much benefit, like post format icons that were converted from links to
 visual indicators in #35497, and then removed completely in #46591.

 So, while I understand the consistency point of view, it does not look
 like there any actionable steps here at this time.
