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.

then what is your solution? do you expect them to redo their entire corporate branding palette?

Nope. The icons are honestly good enough as they are, but the original post was being disingenuous in suggesting they're no more distinguishable than squares.

Running with that logic, having each square a different color does not solve the problem for those of us who can't easily distinguish those colors.

it's a meme, so obviously it's hyperbolic. but the point is valid.
