[Cthulhu_]

Yeah, purely from memory here but it's not that the save icon went out of fashion, but the concept of an icon bar or ribbon has gone; Microsoft's current UI standard for their native apps still has a ribbon IIRC, but I feel like that's one of the last vestiges. Using real world analogies went out the window after skeuomorphic design was no longer a thing too.

Oddly enough, for me I had trouble adjusting to the 'folder' icon (or referring to folders as folders), we grew up with the term "directory" and I never had an association with anything physical with that.
