I made a comment on another online presence and below I am quoting the response from
Kevin Schneider @schneik-adsk .
That explanation makes a lot of sense and should have been part of the "What's new" blog post.

there is a lot of things in this update that are not obvious. 1st there is the tabbed toolbar which scales as we grow better than the old workspace and toolbar. Along with the new tabs is a new simplified workspace switcher which will lays a foundation for changes coming as we make improvements to pdm tools. The toolbar is also not floating which addresses one of the sources of fusion grabbing focus on launch. Next are the icons. These are consistent with the rest of the company. But that is only one reason. These icons use svg as their source. While the current icons in fusion still are png raster images, generating them from new source files all in svg was a big step towards fixing hi dpi issues on windows. We can now switch incrementally to vector icons without another massive cosmetic change. We, and especial I, pushed for the icon changes to be done along with the toolbar. This allows us to change to tabs and change the icon look in one drop. As everyone creates new video and training they will be able to do that with the new ui. As we phase in svg icons videos and screenshots won’t have to be redone because the icons should simply look crisper. Svg icons will mean better resolution independence and eventually a dark mode. All things users have asked for. The svg icons are more efficient in the deployment eventually resulting in a smaller client footprint. So there is a lot of thought in easier learning and better underlying technical
Infrastructure that directly addresses user requests driving these changes. I hope this adds some context for these changes.
