Why are the Latinized/Romanized forms of ancient Greek names more popular?

There are a lot of these names that are more widely used in their Romanized forms. Yet if we talk about mythological names instead the Greek names are more widely used (althrough this was different over 200 years ago)

Why other OS vendors haven't copied Android's Material You theming?

That's a feature added in Android 12 that changes the apps themes based on the wallpaper. While other OS'es like Windows 10 and 11 have a similar feature, on Android it's more complete and app backgrounds etc. are also tinted based on the wallpaper's colors as well. Why they haven't implemented a similar feature in their OS?

    What game of the 2020s do you think that will top the "best games of the decade" lists in 2030?

    According to MetaCritic, Zelda: Breath of the Wild topped "best games of the 2010s" lists, appearing in 1st place in 17 of these lists. In 2030, what game of the 2020s decade will appear on the 1st place in most of these lists? (It should be noted that we are in the middle of the 2020s decade so this may change as new games get released).
