It probably makes sense in Google's own ecosystem of apps, but as an aesthetic style it seems to be intentionally bland and tasteless.

I think you can defend your use of the word 'bland' here but 'tasteless'? That seems a little overblown.

Ah. I guess I was reading 'tasteless' as implying that you had to lack taste yourself to like it rather than 'this thing has no flavour in itself'. Hmmmmmm....
