Comment (by jameskoster):

 > I find it weird that only the site icon is relegated to the options
 page. Isn't there any room for this to be managed in the site editor?

 There is a PR (https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/35892) to make
 it possible to set the Site Icon while working with the Site Logo block.
 But since the Site Icon doesn't appear on the site itself, a dedicated
 block would be inappropriate.

 Therefore a dedicated site settings interface needs to exist in the Site
 Editor before we can think about making it possible to edit the Site Icon
 therein. I think we will need such an interface for managing home page
 settings and so on, but none of that has been designed yet.
