> More like still referring Alphabet as Google.

Facebook and Google are still the products. Meta and Alphabet are the parent company names. So it's not wrong. I don't know what X is supposed to be.

Their point stands, as almost no one refers to Alphabet as such. Google is almost exclusively used when referring to the company.

People that work for Alphabet? Googlers, who will all tell you they work for Google

Waymo, formerly the Google Self-Driving Car Project.

Etc. Frankly, the only time I hear about Alphabet, is in relation to stock price news, nevermore.

To be fair google is a sub-company which does own (and subsequently kill) most of the products, not alphabet itself

>Frankly, the only time I hear about Alphabet, is in relation to stock price news,

You mean the stock GOOGL?

A publicity stunt?

Probably more of a narcissistic mistake.
