Try being Microsoft and having two different LLM products and an entire office suite named Copilot.

Can't wait for Google to announce a humanoid robot project called "Google Android"...

I remember a comment on here years ago from someone in GCP who mentioned that they did not control the "Cloud" namespace. So any VP could launch a new project and call it cloud something and make people very confused about why it wasn't showing up in the cloud dashboard and API.

At least the internal name of that kit is a cool name. So we should blame the Cloud marketing people who likely don't know about Android since they're Cloud people.
