Icons Becoming Simpler?

I've noticed in Gmail and in some other apps that the icons have become
simpler, less sophisticated, more cartoonish.
I suspect that this is for accessibility reasons, to make them easier to
discern by people with visual and/or cognitive impairments.
Does anyone know whether I'm correct?

Thanks
