Am I supposed to practice driver minimalism to prevent a slew of tray icons from occupying my screen?

It is poor design by having that be the form of which quick access to settings is provided. The tray icon paradigm simply invites clutter.

The taskbar icons are added by programs that are running. Disabling autorun for them prevents them from starting, and therefore the icons from showing up. I'd say 90% of the time disabling autorun for the companion program doesn't break any functionality.
