Comment (by ahortin):

 @celloexpressions the fact that they're non-destructive is irrelevant.
 People shouldn't have to click a button to find out what it does. That's
 the most annoying thing ever. Why is there a tooltip on the Distraction
 Free Writing icon in the Visual Editor? It's non-desctructive as well. By
 your way of thinking, this tooltip should be removed also.

 You should know what an icon/button does BEFORE you click it. If I'm using
 an interface and I don't know what a particular button does, I'm less
 likely to click it at all, just in case it messes up my work. If I don't
 know what the icon/button does, how do I know if it's non-destructive?

 Even though the sizes may be arbitrary, they'd still benefit from having
 labels like "Mobile view/Tablet view/Desktop view", or something along
 those lines. They're not device specific and will at least give people an
 idea of what the icon does.
