Why the hell should I do research into why Red Bend or Microsoft choose particular names for their algorithms? I will continue to make tongue-in-cheek remarks on issues of that nature without extensive research.

You may be right of course as to the reason, but having waded through Ludwig Wittgenstein in an earlier life, philosophising on names isn’t my thing.

Anyway, a courgette doesn’t give me an impression of speed. Not like a pea from a pea-shooter. Actually I can see a tomato used as a projectile.

And it isn’t just for wireless devices…they use it to push Chrome updates to desktops, also.

You really should do your research.
