It wasn't that long ago that everyone split big images into many

change again when this pendulum swings back the other way ?
It's not a pendulum since these are solutions to different problems. The "tesselated" images was/is used to optimize the palette of GIF images (limited to 256 colors), to form one big image.
When it's about icons, like in RoundCube, where it is small images, there's simply a different bottleneck.
