I don't understand where the idea came from that Material Design is flat. It's just about the only design language out there that includes official guidelines specifically regarding elevation.

I suppose it's not completely flat because some elements have subtle shadows, and some weirdly raise when pressed. It was strongly influenced by the flat themes from Microsoft (Metro/Modern) and Apple. It's more minimalist with low contrast and gratuitous spacing.
