Exactly. This is also the source of my concern with Dicks questions. There’s a difference between real regulatory terms (LNAV/VNAV etc.) and branded terms (+V).
It seems that a manufacturer of avionics starts labeling a feature of their hardware, then pilots who aren’t familiar with the industry wide norms believe that it’s actually real. It’s just branding gibberish made up by a manufacturer. Similar situation to BMW, Porsche etc, all calling their stability, suspension and safety systems something different. It doeasnt mean that PASM is an industry norm, or you’re going to find a PROF box on a Jepp chart.
