I can understand changing the name. Among other reasons, I wouldn't want to be doing B2B sales and trying to explain to the customer what "Linode" is.
The name "Linode" has an old-school charm, from a particular period and demographic, but I'd guess that's not how they're making most of their money nowadays.
And, hey, ACC (Akamai Connected Cloud) comes alphabetically before AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Adding new good things is a bonus.
