In comparison, "Google Docs" is simpler and not rage inducing.

365 is a terrible name. Could you explain to your grandma what a 365 is? Likely not, and I’m not looking forward to that conversation. This is disappointing stuff

Microsoft Office - Okay, this is a bundle of software relating to office work, released by Microsoft. Makes sense!

Microsoft Office 365 - This is also office software by Microsoft, but the 365 indicates it's a subscription service, because you're paying for it 365 days a year or something. This is contrasted to normal non-365 Office.

Microsoft 365 - So... This is something by Microsoft, that is also a subscription service? Okay...

Microsoft 365 Copilot - Oh! Copilot! Everyone knows Copilot, right? It's like, their one and only remaining important trademark, everyone has got to know what it means with no further explanation. So, it just makes sense, this is a Microsoft subscription service where you pay for this "Copilot", right?

Because it will make you turn 365 degrees and walk away.
Watch out! a 365-degree turn might very well leave you on a direct collision course with your grandma
You’d be 5 degrees off technically
175 degrees if you insist on being pedantic.
