It's a poorly chosen name, same as in "Windows subsystem for Linux". It should be called Linux subsystem for macOS if they really need such kind of combination

Or "Adobe <product-name>" unless you're Adobe. Or ... well ... you get the idea ;) [1] https://twitter.com/richturn_ms/status/1245481405947076610 https://twitter.com/richturn_ms/status/1245481405947076610
