It already looks amateurish and outdated.
Note how design-focused companies like Apple almost never use it. It’s mostly used by Facebook and Google, who aren’t know for sophisticated design.
I seem to remember Apple already having used a similar style of art in manuals in the 90s. [1]

I see any brand that uses corporate memphis design as being slack and amateur. It's literally 2020's MS Clip Art.

I suspect that in 30 years the corporate Memphis style will be a selling point where yet-to-be-born designers try to revive some "Retro Cool".
That link is a wild ride. I expected a design blog. Instead I got a communist indictment of startup culture through the lens of the commodification of illustration.
Same! A refreshing take on the startup world from the outside.
