Why did Apple get rid of the Apple on the command key?

Why did Apple get rid of the Apple on the command key? It was way cooler than it just saying "command" like a Windows computer...

Very good question, I really liked it....I still call it the "Apple button" out of habit, plus then anyone using the machine knows with a quick.

I guess it makes keyboards more universal, but who really cares? If someone is running Linux or Windows on a Mac, I'm sure they can figure out what they Apple button equals in Windows)


But not a huge issue at the end of the day

There's a very interesting write-up about the history of the Apple key here which explains pretty much everything
