Well, this design motif has been around long enough that I wouldn't necessarily call it a "recent fad". One obvious example that springs to mind is holding icons on the iOS home screen to move or delete them.

And you might disagree but studies have shown that choices make people unhappy. On the other hand these were needed let's say because some items are not appropriate to Like. Like say a piece of news for some tragedy. But I do think this will backfire as I think it will lower engagement. Right now when people cannot Like, they Share. And for other reactions they place comments. Many in the form of emoticons but still.
