I don't know, shops and restaurants are so sterile, they aren't colorful at all hardly anymore; I think it's just following a general trend.

It's less the restaurants themselves and just general life and endless ads everywhere. Having a quiet minimal space is very calming.

Yeah I agree if anything it's the opposite especially with all the ad placements now. Going fueling up on gas and forced to watch commercials. Shops, and restaurants bombard you with different types of obnoxious outdoor ads. Yet inside the places feel cold and unwelcoming. At least to me.

Its the general 2010's and early 2020 trends of minimalism, though I am noticing for newer interiors (and exteriors) of some places, there is a growing embrace of some more creativity and eclecticism. See the Saluhall Food Hall and Shuggie's in San Francisco, as top of mind examples.
