How much of this stuff is made up? I know Venmo is real, but a lot of the rest sounds like parody names.

Everything after Zelle is made up

Floorp is real but irrelevant in this context.

I’ve actually been using it for a month (replacing regular Firefox) and I like it! It was funny to see it listed, because it is a ridiculous name.

Zelle and CashApp are real.

Parody names drive more engagement than serious ones, so even real things are given parody names now
