Microsoft loves to own general terminology like "edit" for their products. I have no idea how this flys.

SqlServer like it's the one that found sql or it's the only product that serves sql.

I know what you mean but everyone does this.

Apple has Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. Google has Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. Meta has Messenger. Far too many examples to list.

Conversely, it would be ridiculous to use non-obvious names.
