The thing is: generaly an user tend to use only one application at a time, so it doesn't matter if the screen is full of window: a click to iconify all the windows and a click on the icon and voila.

Much easier than navigating into a maze of menus, and no need to reach for the keyboard.

Besides, icons are just an additional option, that you're free to ignore, but that many people like..
