I think there’s something in the effective downgrade we’ve had with the move to homogeneous design. Many people spot things through colour and shape. The Mac made every sidebar/toolbar component mono. All icons are supposed to be the same shape. Neither of these things is overly helpful, but it’s worse when branding dictates that everything within those shapes must look very similar, combined with the ongoing tendency towards minimalist shapes and typography.
