The top bit got me recently, I hadn’t needed to remote into my desktop in a while and searched “Remote” and “RDP” and found nothing. Eventually I found it was renamed to the windows app and finally logged in but was baffled as to why they would do that.

This is the dumbest rebranding ever. If I tried really hard to make it as dumb as possible, I'd still not be able to come up with such a horrendously bad idea.

Even if they renamed it to “Now You Too Can Have Magical Long Fingers and Vision” it would be somewhat descriptive of what it does.
