For anyone else who was confused to see a paper use the same name as a commercial product, it looks like Google Gemini was announced in May, whereas this was submitted to SOSP that had an April submission deadline.
It's not a good name to give to anything. Unless you're a corporate giant, name creativity is really important to making your work findable and re-findable.

This is underrated information. I’ve seen so many products and even companies fail because the name led to millions of unrelated search results. Even if they are a giant it can still lead to bad outcomes.
I think this points more to how slow the paper submission process is compared to the product creation velocity. No wonder arxiv has been such a hit for the ML community.
