Why would they choose a name that they think is so bad?

Computer scientists are bad at naming. Let marketing handle it.
That's why naming is one of the hard problems in computer science.
The other three are memory management and off-by-one errors.
Marketing is even worse at naming things! You don't see programmers having 2 weeks of meetings to come up with a terrible, terrible name and still feeling good about themselves afterwards.
They couldn't think of a good one, or they don't want the hassle of changing it.
