Less clutter.

Isn't each tab clear from the fact that it starts with an icon?

No. It only works if you're so familiar with the previous UI than your pattern recognition kicks in. Someone who sees this for the first time will have no idea what it means. It's inaccessible to the novice.

Also, tabs without a favicon don't start with an icon at all.

It doesn't seem to be the novice people speaking up against it? Or are they all acting in defence of novices they don't know?
