I think people would complain that apropos doesn't do its job if it were named help.

Apropos would be a powerful part of a "help" command, but in 50 years nobody has ever written a help command that gained enough traction to be included in the standard toolchain.

Request granted!

Apropos doesn’t do it’s job because it isn’t named — or integrated with — help.
