Same, icon design used to be art, and could be fun too. Now it's just "here's your rectangle with some logo on it, we may throw an extra color on it if we're feeling a bit quirky.". This liquid glass stuff is cool and all, but we need design sensibilities from skeuomorphic icons too. They used to have design goals like "relate this to something in the real world, so people have an idea of what this app is used for". That's totally gone now, and I think that's a mistake. Sorting through 100's of apps or anything with an icon with the same color and shape makes it way too hard to find what you're looking for. I know it looks cool, I even do it with custom icons from time to time, but it shouldn't be the default.
