100%. I'm kinda surprised how the 3 lines hamburger menu got so prevalent in the first place, because it always user tests poorly. My guess is that when flat minimalism (my favorite shitty example of this is when Android expected everyone to know what a flat square, circle and triangle are supposed to mean) was the rage, even though user testing always showed a ton of people didn't know what the three lines meant, that designers felt it would eventually become "the standard" and people would know.
Problem is, years later, tons of people still don't know what it means - every time we do user testing, words do better. I think these days design fads change so frequently that there really isn't enough time for any design to be that "standard" long enough for everyone to really grasp it.
