I think a lot of people are missing a major point: they specify mobile and macOS. Monochrome UI icons are the norm on those platforms and they're trying to conform to the designs of those systems. Fluent UI is meant to be cross-platform so that your UI looks like it "belongs" regardless of platform. They're not making some kind of UX/UI design statement or illustrate some philosophy with this repo specifically (although Fluent UI as a whole could be argued as such), they're just providing a freely available set of icons that may make sense for your particular project, like Font Awesome.

- nvrspyx 6y agoNot if you want your UI to look the same across platforms, but still look like it "fits" in wherever. One is free to use SF symbols specifically on Apple devices if they want, or if they want it to look the same on Android, Apple devices, web, etc. they can use these icons (or some other icon library). There's room for both "stock" icons and alternatives.
