So i checked other file managers these dont change their window icon and they
are

Nautilus
Dolphin
PCManFM
Windows Explorer - Windows XP
Windows Explorer - Windows 8

and these file managers do change their window icon

Caja
Nemo
Windows Explorer - Windows 7
Windows Explorer - Windows 10

Theo provided the below as a pointer for the change and said that it would be
another candidate for a hidden xfconf setting.
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tree/thunar/thunar-window.c#n3456

If it is decided that this behaviour should be switchable by a xfconf setting,
I would suggest that the default behaviour should be that it doesn't change.

Imagine if every app changed its window icon based on context. If firefox used
a website's icon as the window icon depending on which tab you are in. If
mousepad, libreoffice, vlc, etc. used the file's filetype icon as the window
icon.
