Enthusiastic users aren't the people you should design for - instead target changes that have the greatest positive impact for the most users. There could have been a compelling reason like color requirements for accessibility or how they display on low end screens for NBU that negates a bunch of memegen posts about how pretty it looks.

Changes that make it harder to differentiate will not improve accessibility.
