What's particularly bad about the names of Graphene, Mint and Cinnamon? Especially compared to Android and iOS!!

On their own? Nothing.

But Graphene doesn’t mean anything to the general public. People aren’t buying “an iOS device”, they are buying iPhones. People aren’t buying “an Android phone”, they are buying “a Samsung/Galaxy” or a “Pixel”.

Mind you, when I say people, I mean the general population. Not those actually interested in these subjects.

My point is: people don’t care about these specifics, people care about having a frictionless experience (or as close to frictionless as possible). Having to explain what Graphene even is is friction enough for most people to not even bother listening to your explanation.

It's the OS every drug dealer uses and the government can't break it. In privacy circles you can't get better marketing than that.

If only privacy circles were big enough to matter.
