    The reputation loss is probably worse than whatever fine they end up paying

    Time to pull a Meta/X and change name

      The issue is that would at best “reset” their reputation to zero. But the state that they’d like to go back to would be similar to “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM”, which ofc only works with the existing name. And this line of thinking is what got damaged by the degrading processors (and maybe how they handle it).
