So I did a quick web search just out of curiosity and it turns out you've been able to permanently disable desktop icons since at least Windows XP! Meaning this has already been a feature of Windows for almost two decades at minimum and it's not even that hard to discover. In fact I'm pretty sure now I've stumbled upon this feature in the past but completely forgot about it because I just never needed it.

 

 

I'm a moron for forgetting about that, my bad.  Still increases the travel time and involves tiny targets (even smaller than the popup menu I have in Litestep), but you're right, it exists.

It's not there by default.  I think that must be a Powertoys thing?
