i think they did need to unify the design and branding but i also agree they went too far with it. if they had only chosen 1-2 colors for each app icon that would have helped a lot.

gmail - red

drive - yellow

maps - green

meet - blue

calendar - lighter blue

problem solved

Problem solved! If we ignore the world's ~300 million colorblind people.

The icons would still have different shapes, right?

Yes, but the original post is suggesting that they're ambiguous enough to all be squares. Running with that concept, making a bunch of squares different colors doesn't fix the issue for those of us who can't easily identify those colors.
