I feel like times new roman (and thus, most other serif fonts) have been associated with school essays and official briefings. sans-serif fonts feel more casual and friendly. Plus, MSword's switch to cambria in word 2007 probably helped.

I mean obviously Times New Roman has been overused but I like fonts like variations of Garamond, Palatino, etc. (Plus I always switch cambria to some sort of serif font since I don’t like cambria that much)

Sans-serif fonts are considered friendlier and more inviting. Especially that you brought up Google's logo change, that's the main reason they did it as far as I know.

That’s weird because I always find certain serif fonts (not all, like not Times New Roman) friendlier-looking. Like the one used in headers for older Apple advertisements, I like that one. And I think Google’s old logo is more ‘friendly’, mostly since I think there’s more variation in serif logos so sans-serif ones end up looking the same. That’s just me though. Obviously sans-serif has its place (like the main body of text on websites since it’s more legible at smaller sizes) but I’d like to see serifs used a bit more in places where larger font sizes are used and legibility isn’t as much of an issue.
