Why didn't they name it Multicorn?

Disappointing that their logo is just a unicorn. :/

That would be a pretty good name. Has the added benefit of sounding like multicore. Other alternatives I can think of are cpucorn or even silicorn.

(I cannot resist making a They Might be Giants reference.)

There's precdent for "Omnicorn" [1]-- after all, "On its head is every manner of horn".
