This causes people to take a double take, it doesn't allow them to make assumptions, that's a good thing all in itself. The second thing they've done is to take apple's visual style and make it common property, it becomes diluted, it fucks with the way messages are 'meant' to move which in my opinion is also a good thing.
I'd be terribly surprised if 1 in 10 even noticed without it being brought to their attention.
