This story is a lie.

There's no "computer icon". Dragging the System disk to trash ejects it on a classic Mac. If you burrow down into System, you can try deleting system files… which are locked and can't be deleted.

You can test this yourself on Infinite Mac

Well if the story is true, wouldn't they have just fixed the software, so it would have never seen the light of day?

If they had "fixed" it, there would be a "My Computer" icon. No such thing exists, go TRY the Infinite Mac I linked above.

Unless this story is from preproduction software and they got rid of the computer icon. Or maybe that detail was misremembered and it was actually a disc icon.
