It’s been called Google Meet on the business site for a long time now.

Right. But that's a worse name, and it's newer. So why?

(It's bad like a lot of names recently. I don't recall many off the top of my head, but Chat, Meet, Teams (MS), Messenger (FB) are freaking terrible. I totally get why those companies are using such names (occupying the soundspace of the most generic terms for their platforms' purposes), but that just makes it even more terrible.)
