I posit that app icons serve 2 purposes.
1. Ideally, to convey some aspect of what the app does.
2. To provide a consistent visual for the user to make it easy to find the app on a crowded field of icons.
So, having said that, WHY THE FUCK do companies keep changing the icons of their core apps?? (Looking your way Google)
Are you purposefully trying to hide your products from me and make me hunt for them? 😡

I've suggested guillotine as a solution to various problems in the past, and facetiously replied to many an argument with a link to the Wikipedia page for the guillotine.
But this article. This stopped me. Made me think. Hex is right. If you can use a guillotine, you've already won, and are just enacting violence.
This article is worth a read.
