Apps are responsible for installing their own icons, and then referencing them correctly. Evidently this app doesn't do one or both of those things. I'd recommend reporting this to the app's developers.

Someone here has reported this issue <https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/issues/663>
Should we consider adding a universal icon for such situations instead of looking like a blank sheet of paper as it does now?

I don't think that's better, and could even trick people into thinking that the placeholder icon is a real icon.

Better to have it be ugly so you notice that the app is broken IMO.
