(I'm not the OP) I don't know why, I only know that `window-system' is
``considered harmful''.  In this case, you should use
`display-multi-frame-p' or `(fboundp 'iconify-or-deiconify-frame)'
instead.  That's because `window-system' doesn't say anything about
the underlying functionality, so it's better to use predicates which
do.  (As a matter of fact, there's at least one Emacs configuration
that has non-nil `window-system', but doesn't support iconify.)
