Physical products - maybe, but it doesn’t seem to apply to software. And Apple is not the only offender in that (although I have to admit that they’re somewhat good at coming up with generic and yet recognisable names because of the context). Just try to think of a desktop or mobile OS that doesn’t bundle a default app with a generic name like Files, Mail, Internet and so on.

They’re not trying to trademark those. Others can call their default apps the same thing and it’s fine. Others can’t call their default in house browser chrome (unless they’re google).
