You should note the inner part of the cursor changes color. This part is aware of your target's alignment and/or pvp/tower flag.
The reason the cursor itself doesn't change based on the target action is because certain targets may have different left and right click actions.
For example, hold ctrl or shift while hovering certain targets, you may end up receiving 2 additional icons.
As we did consider the 2 icon and mouse button indicated might be too much clutter for veteran users, we added settings to reduce the amount of information shown.
As for the aesthetics, I expect someone will reskin them for your particular taste.
An unfortunate truth in anything we change is that some people will simply prefer the old.
