I'm well aware of the fact [issue] that large icons normally use large
detail and small icons should use less. But that comes down to the fact
of how the designer designs the icons. KDE and Gnome generally show that
a single SVG file can suffice - by sacrificing on "intricate details" is
the design.

Bottom line - the SVG solution is a lot better that shipping say Lazarus
with its 400 icons in 15 different icon resulutions. That ends up with
6000 image files, which is crazy.

I already detest Lazarus's default application icon, which comes in at
140KB - larger than the source code of all my "quick test apps".
