So here's the problem with major corporations and software design: Once you have an actual problem solved, the assumption is that there are more problems to be solved.
In other words: The team becomes a BS job team by "inventing" problems that "need" to be solved - in order to not having to find actual new, (more) challenging problems.
Google Maps did not need a new design, and everybody knows that - except for the people that'd be out of work and their managers.

Adobe changing the color palette for no reason, every Windows major release breaking the UI again (for no reason) and forcing people to either go to excruciatingly hacking their operating system to behave like before or learning the new workflow - again, for no reason.

It seems like technology just doesn't leave the mental option to be "fine as it is" - self-optimization devouring itself and us users along the way.
IT has solved a great deal of problems - but unfortunately a lot of those we didn't have before.
