I've worked on tools that were slightly misnamed after 6 months, and completely misnamed after 2 years. At that point they were also usually just nearly useless due to feature bloat and/or lack of scalability, so deprecated or replaced with something better.

They didn't change names, but their successors would get a new one.

Yep, enough that they need a caveat every time someone new is told of the product. It happens, and it's gotten worse due to Agile.

Look at IBM "Watson". It had evolved from an AI jeopardy and Q&A engine into basically whatever salespeople make up.
