    simplified naming scheme with labels like ‘Pro’ and ‘Max.’

    How is that “simplified”? Which one is better, Pro or Max?

    Actual simplified naming would probably be names like “Basic”, “Business”, “Gaming”, or numbers like what Intel does with Core 3/5/7/9.

      I suspect, at some level, that the confusing naming is kind of the point.

      What’s the difference between Pro and Max? If the names were clearer, you probably wouldn’t check the website to clear up the confusion.

      It nudges potential buyers into interaction with company marketing.

      It would be more simple to call some things basic, but it’ll never happen for the same reason food and drinks places have started drifting away from calling things “small, medium, large” and towards the much more stupid “Regular, Large, Extra-Large”. Starbucks goes even more pretentious with it.

      You’d be more likely to have something extremely dumb like Premium (shit-tier), Premium Pro (midrange), Premium Ultra (actually premium).
