I abbreviated on the phone, but the respective full names are “X Enterprise Linux” and “X Web Services” which are literal description of what their thing is. “RedHat” and “Amazon” are generic, but the product names are highly specific.

I mean it could’ve been “RedHat Cthulu” and “Amazon RainBox”.

I strenuously dispute that "Web Services" is "highly specific".

It is about as specific as the product.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Amazon Web Services?

"Amazon Web Services" could mean literally anything. It only seems obvious and descriptive because it's become a widely known brand.

Compare: "Nile Online Frameworks"

But, isn't AWS doing literally everything?

No simple name can describe the job 100% after a certain level of complexity anyway.

Those are synonyms. What is your point?

AWS was useful until it became to mean "about 9000 totally unrelated products, each of them having its own name, sometimes very non-descriptive". But at least you know it's a service from Amazon, sometimes you don't even get that from the name.
