I also find that annoying. I wonder if it started because Google favour "fresh" content, and so people keep changing the content of their pages and Google keeps that page even when Y has been removed. Here's MattCutts from 10 years ago saying this is sometimes useful:
> Your "Red Room" query is hard in a couple ways. First, it looks like that root page used to have the words on the page: "The Red Room Doors open 6pm $18 Pre-Booked" And it's also tough because it looks like the name changed to the "2nd Degree Bar & Grill" at some point. The fact that you can type [red room] and get a suggestion for [red room st. lucia] is actually pretty helpful in my book because it leads you to the answer that the name changed.
