The STL is meant to solve a fairly general class of problems. It isn’t optimized for a number of use cases, and frankly some of the design and nomenclature is terrible.

unordered_map is a terrible name for a hash map, imho.

Awkward perhaps but not terrible. It emphasizes the one quality that makes it different from std::map.
