Their point isn’t that it’s a weird name that isn’t descriptive of what the product does, their point is that cron is an already existing bit of software that does something else.
It’d be like if MS made a notes app called Steam, Google called a new camera app iTunes, or Apple rebranded Apple Music to PowerShell.
Minus the trademark infringement I guess. I doubt Cron has that.
Even worse is that it’s close enough.
Like “recur by specific days but not by months cron”
Is a valid search for both things. Only one came out in 1975 and has had that name forever, and one decided it would be cool to hijack it
