Erm... really? Let's just take that one at a time, shall we?
F - Facebook. Or should we say Meta? Home of the Oculus Rift and the Oculus Quest, if you can remember which of those is which. Sorry, that's now the Meta Quest.
A - Amazon. Such clarity of naming. Everyone knows they have a product called 'Alexa', right? And of course, to get that, you need to buy an... Echo. Or an Echo Dot. Or an Echo Studio, or an Echo Show?. Obviously it's clear what a Kindle Oasis is, compared to a Kindle. And then beyond that of course we've got the wonder that is AWS product naming. Aurora, Kinesis, Fargate, InfiniDash, Athena, Elastic Beanstalk, Route53... Clearly a model of clarity.
A - Apple. Absolutely, the home of the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the iPhone SE, or the Apple Watches Ultra, SE, Nike and Hermés could never be accused of confusing product naming.
N - Netflix. Sure. You know the difference between Netflix Basic, Netflix Standard with Ads, and Netflix Standard, right?
G - Google. Right. Google Workspace, Google Docs, G Suite... or Youtube Premium vs Youtube TV...
You're right. Not a one of these companies would name product tiers confusingly.
