I abbreviated on the phone, but the respective full names are “X Enterprise Linux” and “X Web Services” which are literal description of what their thing is. “RedHat” and “Amazon” are generic, but the product names are highly specific.

I mean it could’ve been “RedHat Cthulu” and “Amazon RainBox”.

I strenuously dispute that "Web Services" is "highly specific".

It is about as specific as the product.
