Because it's a dumb name that's dumb
FGO story barely takes itself seriously, and thus is not taken very seriously by the fanbase. The story is an excuse to have the gameplay and cute girl kennels. The writing of FGO is not exactly the first thing that people would think about when bringing up 'Type-Moon' and 'Writing' in one sentence.
Perhaps you would be better served with the Visual Novels: Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, or Mahotsukai no Yoru. Or the books and their very prolific movie adaptations, Kara no Kyoukai.
You seem to have approached this franchise from its little toe. It just so happens that this little toe has recently grown into a gigantic cancerous tumor that basically makes the host (Kinoko Nasu) paraphlegic and incapable of doing any work over the horrible pain shooting through his lower body. Alas, the doctors hired with his many bank notes tell him it cannot be removed, because the risk is too high.
You misunderstanding me chums, but thats my fault.
What I don't understand is why they made her Offical name Altria, with Artoria sounds, and looks, alot better.
What?

アルトリア
A ru to ri a
cut out some vowels because we all know japanese adds more vowels because of how their alphabet works
take out a few too many vowels
Artria
but l and r are a thing in english too so prob change that
Altria
Not like they'd really know any better since it's a made up name either way, so they decided this was right and forced it onto other works.
I meant Type-Moon fanbase, not FGO fanbase. Two different things.
I mean I look at Camelot and Babylonia and basically absolutely everything in the game and I try to take it seriously, but there's always some of it that's total nonsense, but is integral to the main story, like Jaguar Man.
I try to look at Solomon and think that it was pretty serious and all but then I remember that Mysterious Heroine X appears in it alongside all the other event characters with events that never took themselves seriously and it just totally undermines the game's posture and gives it a jingle-bell.
I'm actually convinced TM ran アルトリア through Google when deciding on Altria. Because that's what you get if you put it in GT.
I always thought Altria as the GT translation came about after the fact, from people correcting the translation or something, but you might be right.
Is that so? I see people talking about Camelot and other story moments all the time.
He never sleeps. He never dies.
Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.
But isnt that because Camelot was written by Nasu?
So it has that special/authenticity to it?
I actually don’t like miyu either. I don’t really know why. She is like a plate of dry toast with an empty pack of butter next to it.
I wanna like this. I don’t hate it, it’s fine
but this needed something it doesn’t have.
I mean, it's part of FGO either way.
He never sleeps. He never dies.

I don't know about "authentic", but I do think Camelot was leaps above the earlier arcs in terms of quality. That said, I do think America was a good story which was hurt by the format in which it had to be presented, and I do think other arcs had good moments even if overall they were average or worse. Orléans, for instance, had a lot of potential, but sadly most of it went unrealised.
That's why I said 'isn't taken very seriously', as in there is a degree of letting it get off the hook with its terrible moments. Because it's, you know, not a real entry into the Fate franchise. Deep down everyone knows it's just a brand name scam aimed at people with too much money and too little sense. A scam with lots of work put into it, but I still strongly doubt that any writer in the team feels a crushing responsibility to the fanbase, of writing a compelling narrative for this magnum opus of interactive media.
Say you have this reporter who has become famous because of his documentary series that airs on TV every now and then.
Now, this can't feed them, so they work at a news station, and need to have a scoop for the evening news every week to pad their runtime after they cover the latest school shooting. This is clearly the same kind of work as the documentaries they became famous through, and you can even enjoy some of their scoops, but you won't hold them to the same standard of quality. This is because they're on a clock, because they're motivated primarily by money, but most of all, because nobody takes evening news seriously.
I mean you also have people talk about the Lostbelts and those don't seem to have been written by him yet
"Only in my company, will you not be a monster"
anywhere than here
NGL, "barely" just sounds like an overexaggeration for me

What if it's taken completely seriously as a legitimate medium of storytelling but the writers are mostly incompetent and the medium itself sucks for any tonal or narrative consistency to be achieved?
Honestly, I think that's much more probable.
Yeah, but isn't that mainly because of the tear jerking moments in them?
I havent reached them yet, but everything I heard talks about the feels.
