Really it's just nostalgia. Windows XP repels me, as does any other version of Windows, even Windows 10, though it is nearer my taste. This is because no Windows version was ever my computer as a child, when the nostalgia pixie dust is trapped in your heart. Instead I was a Mac user in the 80s and 90s, then switched to Linux. I had to use Windows many times, but it was always forced upon me, which does not help engender warm feelings. Furthermore Windows always seemed to me slow, flaky, clunky, bloated, and corrupt in all senses of the word. If I were to try to dissociate these feelings from the style of the icons, I still think they are not timeless. In fact it's quite the opposite, they look chintzy and faddish. Their colors are too garish, and there is too much detail. I like icons that are efficient, conveying information with a lightweight visual footprint, like the Reinhardt icons, https://store.kde.org/p/1120613/ https://store.kde.org/p/1120613/
