What is the point of discussing something conceptually (Criticism)

Each icon tells you the base weapon class, as well as archetype for Foundry Weapons, if it is Kinetic or Energy, if it is MW. The first will also identify if it is a power weapon due to knowing what weapon class it is. Exclusions for Exotics, but you should probably have learned those by now.

Also, if you are changing gear in the middle of a firefight, I would hope you have memorized what those icons are for. While you might prefer a spreadsheet of your gear, for most players that is excess information density and just muddies the waters. Providing the higher level information at a glance holds more value than providing all the information to scroll through.
