It’s been changed in the Geographic Names Information System which is the official government system used for naming geographic things in the USA. Every US-based mapping system will eventually pull in the update.
Google Maps is US-based. And even if it wasn’t, it’s still going to use official US data for US locations, just like they use official Australian data for Australian locations. If Australia renamed the Sydney Harbour Bridge to Bridgey McBridgeface, they’d show the new name even if you view it from a different country.

Not so.
This screenshot was just taken by me in Australia.

The comment you replied to was talking about regions outside of the USA. Specifically Australia who do not use a US based mapping system.
