This is just following up on a public promise we already made. When we turned Folder View into the default desktop containment, we told everyone (and got a lot of positive feedback from the users for it) that this means the desktop surface now supports icons by default again, but we don't actually place any by default so it's not having any impact on the people who prefer an empty desktop by default. Then it turns out we actually forgot to change the code.
