I mainly use it for troubleshooting stuff, which includes everything from bash to node and react, Python to ..DNS. idk.

Copilot Pro, confusingly, isn't GitHub copilot related. I do have GitHub copilot, I agree gpt4 is better in general, just not in my IDE.

Idk how Microsoft has bungled this naming... They own GitHub now right?!

So there's Microsoft Copilot, which is like bing chat for windows. But now there is Microsoft Copilot Pro for $20/mo, which uses gpt4 turbo. Haven't seen much on it.

And even more recently, Google Bard is now Gemini, but you can do Gemini Ultra for $20/mo. Supposedly trying to contend with ChatGPT 4 as well.

You haven't followed been following Microsoft for long have you? The first version of Windows was version 3.0 (there were technically earlier versions but they were "a work in progress" and weren't really usable at all). The third version of Xbox was called "Xbox One".

I have been using Windows since before 3.0.

Your point, while comical, is kind of irrelevant as far as naming two independent products the same thing.
