Hot take: I’m not in love with the name “Golden Gate” for the next version of MacOS. I don’t know much about the geography of San Francisco but I don’t believe Golden Gate is a locale, right? It’s just a name of a bridge. It’s like if they called it “MacOS Harbour”.

I’ve since come to understand that Golden Gate is actually the name of the strait that leads into San Fransisco Bay. So it actually is a locale, and thus, a suitable name for Apple’s MacOS. I’d argue that it’s not a great name, since those outside California are more likely to associate it with the bridge. But choosing bad names has not stopped Apple in the past.

Thank you to @rscottjones for the correction.
