I have to respectfully disagree. Aside from compilers, virtually every other ecosystem has mapped the AArch64 ISA to the `arm64` name. The fact that Arm Holdings has not gone after _any_ of them (such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Docker, Debian/Ubuntu, Google, etc.) amounts to tacit acceptance of the name, from my perspective.
In fact, people are _more_ likely to call it ARM64 than they are AArch64, simply because the ARM64 name is used everywhere except by ARM itself.
