Google Sheets gets a new icon (sort of): Mistake or due to feedback?

Google Sheets recently received a new icon in May, following an update to the rest of the Google Workspace family of apps. However, the updated Sheets icon has been rotated 180 degrees, positioning the x- and y-axis indicators in the top-left corner instead of the previous bottom-right location. This change aligns better with the actual appearance of Google Sheets.
Additionally, the second sheet peeking out behind the first is now placed on the right side. Some initial discourse suggested that the rotated icon might have been a mistake during the launch. Yet, it appears more likely that public feedback prompted Google to recognize the icon's improved clarity after rotation. This minor change is currently available for the latest version of Google Sheets on iOS but has not yet been released on the web or Android platforms.
