Right, but the target displays for a lot of icons is not on a desktop monitor, but a mobile display. Mobile devices make it exceedingly difficult to control pixel alignment, either because a user adjusted their accessibility settings, or because their device is physically incapable of doing so because of the display (OLED pentile[1])
Someone choosing "More Space" on their new Mac's display settings has destroyed all pixel alignment on their computer, but with the display's density it might not matter much. Older hardware like the iPhone 8+ scaled everything down for the 1080p display at all times, and no icon was ever perfectly crisp on that thing, even Apple's.
