Is there a reason why this isn't Nokia branded? It seems insane to me that HMD own the most respected phone brand in history and... just choose not to use it for some of their phones? I feel like I'm missing something about the HMD/Nokia situation here.

Nokia hasn’t been the “most respected phone brand” in at least a decade… and I’m sure it costs them money to license it. They’re slowly letting go.
This seems like a kids phone, so the "decision making unit" should be the parents in the end. I am sure they would know about Nokia, that they were happy users years ago and buy the brand again for their kids.
