Is it just me or does the Duolingo bird looks sad/old/tired? What happened to the previous icon?

I really wouldn't describe a few years as astronomical. And that's how long it takes to actually learn a language. You might delete the app a few months into it and switch to other methods if you were actually progressing quickly. The longer you stay on the app, the better chance they have of tricking you into spending money on it. I'm definitely not the first person to notice this. People have been talking about it for years.
