That’s sort of the problem. It’s easy to Google S3 since it’s a distinct (if obnoxiously short) term. Blob is already an overloaded term.
An example of a great name from Microsoft is Excel, it’s relatively short but meaningless so if you Google “Excel Sum” you’ll get wonderful results… “Blob Get” is going to get you a lot of random stuff.
Edit: the top result for blob get is accurate on Google but you’ll also quickly see this result from that site we all hate:

Excel is a brand name, Azure Blob Storage is a descriptive title. It’s Azure’s blob storage service.
What is Azure Blob Storage’s brand name then? I’m confused.
This is why computer science is fucked.
Antilock Braking System
It falls under the Azure brand.
