It’s not that simple: > Ventura, officially named San Buenaventura, was founded in 1782 when Saint Junipero Serra established Mission San Buenaventura, the ninth of the California missions. Serra named the mission after the Italian Saint Bonaventure, hence the nickname that Ventura is the “city of good fortune.” https://www.cityofventura.ca.gov/594/About-Ventura https://www.cityofventura.ca.gov/594/About-Ventura https://visitventuraca.com/blog/when-san-buenaventura-became-ventura/ https://visitventuraca.com/blog/when-san-buenaventura-became... So I would be nicer in general but also take this as a distraction from the main point that tech companies shouldn’t squat on human names. The geographic names will be around long after the OS version is obsolete. I know multiple Alexas and a Siri who will be quite happy if Amazon and Apple rebrand, too.
