FAANG aka fang or fangs also rolls of the tongue a lot better than GAFAM, which sounds like a sneezing noise.
But I believe FAANG referred to hot, fast growth tech companies with forward looking mentalities and high salaries. Microsoft was already a dominant player, practically monopoly in places, and wasn't a "growth" stock as much as a "store value" stock.
