It's the branding. When the button that explored the internet said "internet explorer" it was so obvious. Then every OS component had to become its own brand. Why can't it just be called "internet"?

I'm sure soon enough it'll be renamed "Copilot 365 Explorer" or something similar.
That seems far too clear, I'd bet more on "Copilot Online".
I'm holding out for Copilot 365 Explorer Enterprise Edition.
...the only edition where you can disable bing as default search engine

Because the world wide web is just one of the many applications that is possible to implement on the internet infrastructure.
Looks like the context understander has logged on. Welcome!
They were asking about "internet" versus "internet explorer", so that's not relevant.
The Internet Explorer is not for exploring the internet, but the world wide web, so the name never did make sense.
