The sane solution if one wants to play fairly is to create a licenses page on the webpage or app and mention the source of the icons and other OS software used.

This way you are acknowledging the license and you distribute it too with the copy.

This is how the YouTube app does it for example on Android. Settings/About/OS licenses.

What about using licenses.txt?

Along the lines of: security.txt, robots.txt, humans.txt.

That's a cool idea, never seen that, but after quite a while of googling here's one on the root domain:

https://walltime.info/licenses.txt

Would that fit best next to the Impressum, Cookie Disclaimer, Terms or About page?

Depends on your jurisdiction. In Germany, it could be probably placed on the AGB page.
