Wouldn't be surprised if the only way to pitch it at the boardroom meeting was to tack "green" onto an otherwise convenient feature - since personal convenience is out of vogue and semi-ownership is the goalpost. Calling it anything else gives too much ground to the user, and like a creepy sociopathic groomer discord mod towards a tender 15 year old, Microsoft doesn't like that tone.
They will call it "green" for the same reason they passive-aggressively make you say "g-got it!" on every prompt across every piece of mainstream tech, which is to say they want to communicate that THEY'RE in control without actually saying it.
The Steve Jobs koolaid isn't wearing off anytime soon.
