Apple Computer -> Apple

Google -> Alphabet

Facebook -> Meta

Each of these cases makes sense, though, because the scope of the wider companies had expanded well beyond their original product.

Unlike “Lake America” or “X”, they weren’t renamed just because of ego or out of spite.

I think that is different, alone because the companies still call it "Google" and "Facebook" themself.
