Revit icons dont show the year
you dont know what year a file is
is this marketings fault, the engineers wouldnt do this?
it has been a mystery for many millennia. Most offices have a prefix (or suffix) in the file name as part of the office standards to avoid unnecessary upgrading.
Example: "R22_MyCoolProject.rvt" (for Revit 2022 file) or "MyCoolProject_R2021.rvt" (for Revit 2021 file)
Also opinion: you think too highly of engineers
With almost everyone on subscription and paying for the newest version, they probably didn't expect that people still use older versions.
When you open the files via the File Menu, you should see the Version under the preview
If you are opening the files using double click in Windows Explorer, you would need to go and ask windows to incorporate the version thumbnail
Otherwise...

Not in the icon but the information is available when opened through Revit.
Not sure how you could get marketing from something like this.
When working with multiple versions of Revit, my workflow/recommendation (like others) is to open the Revit version you want to work with, and then open models through the open dialog.
On the flipside, if you’ve got a Revit model and you don’t what version it is, but don't want to upgrade the model you can:
If you would like to see the model version available in Windows, please vote up the following Revit Idea: Display Revit version in Windows Explorer
Also, here is another Revit Idea that may better solve the issue you are looking to address (opening in the right version): Auto open correct version of Revit
