Palantir was just too on the nose, they're basically saying "we're evil, this is evil", which is super creepy in a "what the hell is wrong with you" kind of way.

Anduril means "Flame of the West". So for a California based weapons manufacturer, it's kinda perfect.

I'm not saying these are good people or anything, just that of all the tolkien-named business, Anduril is probably the best named one.
