Why? Google does this everywhere because naming is completely arbitrary and it makes sense to be up to date with current nomenclature. Poland changed name of Kaliningrad (Russian exclave that we border) to Królewiec (what it was called when it was part of Poland) in a similar manner to troll Russians and Google updated our maps as well.

Most of them can't even place their own damn country on a map.

politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.
They're not incapable, they just don't care. They're your problems after all, not theirs.

Well, the ball is in the court of the public transport agencies, then! While OpenStreetMap cannot be expected to accept any and all kind of geographic data imaginable, OSM is meant to serve map data that can supplement other data sources and services.
I'm in Finland, and there's at least a couple of Web services that do long distance bus/rail/plane route planning, all using OSM. Our municipal bus schedule service, mobile app and the bus stop displays have been using OSM for over a decade.

I'm old fashioned. It's still the Gulf of Mexico and Pluto is still a planet.

Trump would be okay with that because it's still a fuck you to the left coast.

Has nothing to do with bending the knee. The executive order literally changed the official name of the Gulf in the U.S. This situation is ridiculous, but it is the new U.S. government that you need to complain about, not the people implementing or deferring to their decisions.

Huh, I didn't know the Sears Tower was renamed to Willis. Though the Sears Tower never comes up in conversations for me, I'll surely only ever know it as Sears. So yeah, that's a great point you make
