At some point, if you have to write articles about the proper spelling of the name, maybe you should just accept the alternative names as well. Also looking at you Datadog and Cloudflare. (The employees of the second one are especially allergic to CloudFlare for some reason)
We tried very hard to convert FastMail to Fastmail and... it's been about 90% successful but there's definitely a bunch of things out there spelled the old way. We just joke about BIG M occasionally.
[TIL - it's not even as old as me!] https://australianfoodtimeline.com.au/1978-launch-of-big-m/
And I tried telling people "news-teller" (or "news teller") is a better word than "herald", and I got told off, so I dunno.
By the way, I love that the OP used the Text Fragment (Scroll-to-Text Fragment) feature. I hope it is going to catch on more, quite helpful / useful.
I guess you could say the same about pronouns.
Anyway, why would someone use the spelling with upper D beats me. It's not proper English.

Entirely different thing. Software/things are not the same as people.

SystemV, Zyklon B, Vampire hunter D, Plan B, Model T, Type O, ... It's extremely common.
It's System space V, Model space T, so separate words.
