ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 David Faure 2023-06-18 11:19:25 UTC 
That's not how it works. The freedesktop mimetype spec (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-0.21.html) defines which icon is used for each file type. The icon is unrelated to the application associated with the file at a given moment in time. This allows consistent and meaningful icons even when no corresponding  app is installed yet, when installing another app, when changing the associated app, etc.

(See also the icon naming spec https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html)
