I know it's quite an insignificant bit of enshittification but I still feel a bit miffed that every logo these days looks the same.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I'm not sure it's really applicable here. What I'm seeing in this picture is not an evolution from "Style A" to "Style B", it's more like an evolution from lots of diverse logos to a completely uniform design across the industry. It's not an evolution from one style to another, but more like a consolidation from unique logos to sameness.
I have a hard time seeing them diversifying again. Maybe someone will change but then the others might just follow suite.
Until eventually enough execs get tired of it and demand busier logos because itll catch attention
