I thought it was possible to discriminate the Windows version to present a distinct icon set per version. Since Tango doesn't look native to Windows I think using another icon set with a more native feel would fit better, even for previous versions of Windows. For example, Office 13 and 16 also adopt a different design language than Aero but they don't look out of place in Windows 7.
And barely anyone is using previous versions of Wnidows to 7 after the end-of-life for XP. I also think that Sifr looks better on MacOS than Breeze. A lot of work was done in these icon sets that look native in these two OSes. It is a waste not to put them front and center to the LibreOffice users on those OSes. Much like Tango is perfect for Gnome and Breeze also for KDE.
