Totally agree. I wondered the same way about why they chose Option over Maybe in Rust. There're so many things in the world that actually can be called Option (I could imagine <select> children or name of some business object) but pretty much none of them are about being null or not. When Maybe is so intuitive that I'm now using this word for the similar cases even in dynamic languages.
