    Regardless of the logo's quality here are the important things to consider, and I'm sure they have at this point.

    Success + Millions spent on advertising and endorsements = Equity in the mark.

    Changing it at this stage would be like throwing money out of the window and then necessitate an even bigger spend to recoup that equity. Best case scenario they make it suck a little less every few years, but even this doesn't matter.

    Missing this point is why some people don't take designers seriously.

    That said, the logo could have been better, but it functions in all the ways a logo needs to function. You're wrong for wanting it to be better, just for thinking that it matters.
