Hmm, I always associated that monkey with mailchimp. I don't think it necessarily needs to be in the logo. Also I have no idea why people are downvoting you. You're giving perfectly valid points. This site is silly.
Meh, it was an eventuality of introducing downvoting in a design group - strong opinions combined with the fact that downvotes are always used as "disagree" buttons!
Anyway, I agree the association was strong before. I don't think they needed to put Freddie in the logo but I think this just more strongly associates the already strongest association with the brand. Which to me would be doubling down on what sets them apart.

He is now officially the logo, which they always struggled with doing before as they weren't really intended to be together and were of differing styles. I didn't look at all applications and am not a user so I may be incorrect on a holistic level - my opinions are just about the branding and marketing site.
