I believe people who use AAC might benefit from familiar icons being used on the site they are accessing. Also the software that takes icon based input from the user may need to convert that into text or numeric input on the website. So I'd imagine correct and specific input type as well as input purpose (WCAG 2.1 SC 1.3.5) would be important for compatibility with such assistive technology.
