Interesting trend from specialized names with large amount of semantic content, towards more generalized names with very little semantic content: Google->Alphabet, Facebook->Meta, Square->Block (ok a little tenuous). What's next? Apple->Fruit? Windows->Opening?

I guess it is so the owners can imagine the company to be whatever they want it to be, though typically they end up being nothing at all.
