It's more like speak IBM and MSFT. They are the ones that came up
with the BIOS that went into the first Intel architecture PCs that
became the modern PC industry, not Intel. At that point, Intel was
just a chip manufacturer and IBM wound up picking the 8088 as the
CPU for it;s first PC.

Before IBM PC, CP/M used the term BIOS although that module was loaded
from disk by the boot code.
