The .icns format predates Mac OS X. On the Classic OS it was more important to support multiple resolutions because icons were often shown at smaller sizes, because the graphics system didn't antialias as well, and because the old visual style tended to use pixel-art, which doesn't scale well, instead of antialiased images.


It still has use, in that older versions of Mac OS X can only use a 128x128 image, but newer ones will use a larger size.
