Description
GLFW applications only display default application icon whatever the icon used (OF, OF debug or user specified).
The icon is correctly displayed in the Windows explorer.
Looking at the code, icon is only set on Linux and using native calls.
GLFW now offers glfwSetWindowIcon() that could be used cross-platform.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with an MSYS2 GLFW application and compare its runtime icon with the icon shown in Windows Explorer. Then trace the existing Linux-only native icon setup and the use of glfwSetWindowIcon; done means OF, debug, and user-specified icons display correctly at runtime on MSYS2.
