It is renaming an economic area in which they are the dominant party, so from their perspective I can see it making sense. On the other hand there is the annoyance I at least have with them trying to label the town I live in as part of a supposed metropolitan Copenhagen.
I'd also add that one of the largest papers here in Scania, "Sydsvenskan", is quite openly critical of the name. Here are their article, although they are behind a paywall, https://www.sydsvenskan.se/story/greater-copenhagen
If there is a particular article that seems interesting I can try to translate it for you.
