I never changed the icon set on any of my OS installs. And I'm not a 
corporate user either.
I also don't know anyone personally that has changed his icon set to 
something else.
Don't explain the world from your preferences and likes.
Do Windows and/or MacOS come with themability? No. Is this a problem? 
No, not really. And if you really have to do it, there are ways to do 
it (the customization sites you mentioned - those may exist for Haiku 
as well). It really doesn't have to be part of the OS for a minority 
group, how loud they may shout.

Bye,
