I really think they're finding the last corners they can cut for profit, meager as it may be. Less colors, less details, less $ to print. That's my theory at least. Another good example of what you're talking about is the Pringles guy:

Edit: Dunkin Donuts is another one, come to think of it. I swear they're going to pull a Prince one day and have their name become a single emoji/symbol or something. They managed to squeeze all the way down from Dunkin' Donuts to Dunkin' to DD... I'm convinced they're going to be the first major company to be named a symbol and people will call it DD or maybe they'll even come up with a new sound that will represent their symbol, and you'll have to get their app to make the sound 🫠
