In my case the little light is exactly the same as the one the calendar icon had for ages in my game, and I personally don't notice it much (in the sense that it could take a few minutes for me to even notice that something is blinking, and also at that point for me it's easy to ignore).
However, I still find it quite annoying and redundant to have more ads about the packs I don't own. I'm poor and on a low-end laptop, I don't need reminders about what I cannot afford now, in particular when I'm trying to disconnect for a while and focus on a game where the "motherlode" cheat exists.
As for the accessibility issues many users are reporting instead, I see it as a broader and separate issue. To reuse the example I started with, for instance, it's not just the cart icon that has a flashy light, but also the calendar. In terms of accessibility of the UI, I guess that being able to toggle off all the animations/lights associated with the icons should be the way to go.
