The inclusion of real people of the companies who created the computer systems serves as a way to neatly resolve the origins of the OS-tans in-universe as having been artificially created. | This theory, which has gained a lot more favor in the fanon, involves real users and real locations in what looks like the real world with some futuristic cyberpunk elements.
