Microsoft used to just name a lot of things for what they did... to a point where it was almost confusing by itself. "Microsoft SQL Server" being a prominent example.

Though, the everything .Net around 2000 was nearly as bad as this CoPilot rename.

.net, dynamics, power, 365, azure, fabric, copilot.

There's always some pointless name change going on.
