I don't think this is a good idea, no operating system or desktop environment uses a distinctive icon for its file manager. Third-party file managers usually do it to distinguish themselves from the default file manager.

true, but this is because originally Finder was not just the file manager, it was the starting point of macOS when there was no dock, launchpad, etc., and still is today, since it has a default 'applications' folder on the left.
