It’s called Paint now. Back in the old days it was called Paintbrush. It’s an anachronism.

FWIW MS has Paint 3D now and will probably have Paint 365 and Paint Series X before we know it.

It was always called Paint. Paintbrush is the Mac equivalent

Hmm so back in Windows 3.1, Wikipedia said paintbrush was a Mac app from the early 90s.

MS renamed it for Windows 95, likely because of that and they were getting a lot of blowback for the interface in looking a lot like Mac anyway.

Paint is still in the OS and hasn’t changed. Paint 3D is different
