They're easy to distinguish, but that's not the complaint. The point is if you
don't know the specific function of each of these two icons, and you see:

* One icon with a pencil
* Another icon with a point along the edge of a shape

you are rather likely to guess that the second icon is what you need to press
if you want to add or manipulate glue-points.

In the image you've added, some icon themes are a lot better than others -
because they illustrate what seem to be vertices or control points.
Specifically:

Good: sifr, karasa jaga, (breeze)
Bad: sukapura, elementary, colibre

I suppose I should - although I don't know how to determine which person
maintains each theme.

Still, the default is very often one of the three bad ones in this respect.
