27.9.2 update to Illustrator 2023 changed app name to "Adobe Illustrator 2024" on MacOS

Question

Last night I saw that there was an update to Illustrator, so I clicked to update. I didn't pay attention to what version was being updated as I have multiple versions of the app installed. Apparently the update was for Illustrator 2023. The prior version was 27.9.1. I just noticed the name of the app changed to Adobe Illustrator 2024 which is odd since Illustrator 2024 is currently version 28.3.0. I'm assuming this was a mixup somehow on Adobe's end, but want to make sure that's the case. It's more confusing than anything else and assumedly won't cause any issues with the actual 2024 app.

Anyone else performed this update and noticed the same thing? I'm running MacOS Sonoma 14.4 on a Studio M2 Max.

Also happens on Ventura. Just updated 2023 version 27.0 to 27.9.2 and it shows as Adobe Illustrator 2024 in the 2023 folder.

It is also named Adobe Illustrator 2024 in the dock. But it is 27.9.2 when opened.
