macOS Tahoe threw an icon on every menu item, making them impossible to distinguish at a glance. macOS Golden Gate has rectified that design taboo with blessedly iconless menus.
Would those metaphors be the same across those different languages or would a developer have to create bespoke icons for each language? That doesn’t seem very helpful to most people, or sustainable.

It’s surprisingly consistent, though of course there are plenty of exceptions and imperfections in the analogy depending on the language.
And I agree that those icons wouldn’t be helpful, just that there are certainly better examples of “list of things with no easily assignable symbol”.
