Re. ubiquity making things hard to find— Recent application naming is infuriating! Consider, in GNOME, for example, Nautilus vs Files. "GNOME Files" does not, of course, help. Same with "Apple Photos".

GRRR!

About as helpful as trying to debug "An error has occurred".

Apple Photos, Music, Numbers, Notes… It’s truly exasperating trying to surface an answer for a question like “how do I sort photos in Apple Photos by date of photo not date added?”

At least Google figured out after the fact that golang made more sense than go.

renaming iTunes to "music" has pissed me off

and making "Apple Music" also refer to a subscription service is even worse.

you can only get away with so much by using "music.app" and "photos.app" - and it really doesn't apply on the phone. (Aside: how long until the iPhone is just the Apple Phone?)

Trying to hide the real name of the application is some weird gnome pastime.
