Schengen visa for Iceland processed by the Danish embassy

Schengen visa for Iceland processed by the Danish embassy - Outdoor Shower in Iceland

I am going to apply for a Schengen visa for Iceland and I read on the VFS website that it's processed by the Danish embassy.

Nowhere in the whole process do I see anything where the process differs from the Danish visa. The form is the same and even during the appointment scheduling only Denmark appears in the country list.

I called up VFS customer care and they told me that even the cover letter needs to be addressed to the Denmark embassy and not Iceland's. They told me to just mention in the cover letter details that I need a visa for Iceland.

This is making me a bit worried as I may end up getting a Denmark visa instead of Iceland quite easily.

I want to address my cover letter to the Iceland embassy. Is this the right thing to do?

EDIT:

I got my Visa and print on Visa says Denmark. And as i read now that except in China, Iceland consulates don't issue Visas, its always issues by Denmark, Norway or Sweden : https://www.worldtravelguide.net/guides/europe/iceland/passport-visa/
