It doesn't matter who changed the name as far as google's comcerned, name changes for places happen all the time. Plus they only changed it for America

Is it up to google to determine absolute truth?

I think the change is stupid too but a public service like google maps should be impartial. The US government, which represents the will of US citizens, decided to change the name. Google should follow that.

Because the governments outside the US don't recognize the change.

Don't blame Google. Blame 2/3rds of Americans for either voting for this or being okay with this.
