Comment (by sebastic):

 The .ico is not installed (because "using different icons can be confusing
 for the user" according to the comment in the Makefile), and the 48x48 and
 64x64 PNG icons also use a transparent background.

 A transparent background fits better with different themes especially dark
 ones where the white icon doesn't fit well. This is in line with the
 [https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-
 latest.html#install_icons Icon Theme Specification] which recommends:
 > It is recommended that the icons installed in the hicolor theme look
 neutral, since it is a fallback theme that will be used in combination
 with some very different looking themes. But if you don't have any neutral
 icon, please install whatever icon you have in the hicolor theme so that
 all applications get at least some icon in all themes.
