You don't need to split that hair. No one's gonna tell the two nearly-identically-named products apart later. While they intentionally named them nearly the same thing so consumers would get confused, I bet they didn't mean like this. But that's where we are.
Outlook is a client, OWA is a web based version of that client. Microsoft is bad at names but I don't see a problem with these tbh
The new Outlook for Windows, however, is just the OWA inside of a glorified Electron app.
