Why would I want it to do that lol

adding a touch of visual appeal

Visual appeal that the manufacturer decided for me? Can I get the icon set I use instead?

Considering Android Auto is basically projecting your phone onto a car display it does make sense for the icons to match.

Icon packs are a "power user" thing but I wonder how hard it would be to put custom icons in via root or revanced type project

That's totally a valid use of resources. ๐Ÿ™„

Honestly this kind of thing is a junior engineer's week or two. Switching up icon sets is simple, and has value for users who will more easily understand what's going on if it's using icons they already recognize.
