My manager (who uses Windows as a daily driver) overheard me recommending a colleague to install Amphetamine and gave me a very puzzled look. Another time I had to explain secops people why do I have an executable called "riot" on my machine (part of Apache Jena if you are curious). So I can imagine Apple just got tired replying to complaints (semiautomated?) from IT sec departments that Amphetamine has nothing to do with drugs and decided to force Amphetamine to rebrand instead.
