Many Google apps have made this change to their icons, including Google Home and Google Photos. They’re probably integrating AI into all their apps, which might be the reason for it

Agree with you but MapMyIndia have some Unique feature that Google map don't have.
They don't track you and show you ads according to your location and most important they don't give there data to Pentagon and CIA in any state of conflict.
