I agree with Snake and K on their statements, there isn't much for me to add myself as it's honestly a very general topic.
In regards to the P5 cut-ins particularly, while the cut-ins in general are in fact a meme, they are not solely used for the sake of being a meme, the effects and art -style of the cut-in are a way to symbolize the character being hyped up and energized, and it can actually lead to some badass moments when you have a team of friends who all use a face icon with a cut-in during an event or IC team fight. I can fully understand that it's not right to abuse a face icon like that because while it is a light meme, isn't it also an anime trope to over-hype some minor things for the sake of comedy, it's just good fun, there's no need to restrict it unless it's being abused.
