This is dumb enough that it can’t be accidental. I genuinely believe the strategy is to create vague but recognizable brands but avoid labeling _products_ with recognizable names.

Microsoft seem to think that it’s better to have some names we all know like 365, Azure, Copilot snd then the products are just floating around under those brands.

That’s the only conclusion I can draw but I have no idea why they would want this.

Product confusion definitely seems like an intentional strategy. Fits right in with the mountain of other user-hostile strategies being employed.
