Is the mouse cursor in the Power User logo an accessibility problem?

I noticed when arriving on the Power User site that my mouse cursor looks very similar in size, shape, and colour to the one in the logo:

This doesn't present a problem for me personally (apart from the initial momentary confusion), but it made me wonder whether it's likely to cause any problems for other people in future.

Not really an accessibility issue, but this mouse pointer confused me to no end. I'm using macOS and this pointer looks exactly like my actual mouse pointer. I can't count how often I was looking for my mouse on the screen and wondering why it wouldn't move...

My current workaround is to block the image with my adblocker.

I can confirm my mouse pointer on Fedora Linux (the one pictured in the question) is also very similar - so it's a problem for both Apple users and Linux users.
