So why not make yellow-orange-related folder icons as default variant
and provide tens other variants for everybody who wants them?

There are many modern and stylish variants of yellow icons today so
there is no doubt that yellow colour really *is not old-fashioned*:

I think this is important stuff. Folders has been one of most used
graphic elements on GUI of most applications for about 10 years and it
is natural to have consistent (similar) colour representation of them
across many open source projects because of user experience and habit.
