Google never rebranded. It's still Google. They just had all these unrelated moonshots like Verily and Waymo that didn't make sense to keep pretending were a part of Google.
Even better, why don’t we just get rid of the unwieldy acronyms altogether and simply refer to them as “major tech companies”? It’s clearer and avoids the constant reshuffling every time the market shifts.
We can still call Alphabet Google, just like everyone calls X Twitter. Clunky rebrands don't have to be accepted by everyone.
Edit: Personally I'm in favor of sorting by present market cap, so it's MANGAM.

Sure, the acronym doesn’t mean anything anymore, but at least everyone knows what it means.
The N stands for Microsoft
There’s no other option besides MANGA. Anything else is f-ing lame
