Openings are named after the person who popularized them/played them for the first time (at the top level), and openings don't get renamed normally once a name has stuck.

I'm not asking for the opening to get renamed, The guy just deseves to be mentioned in relation to 1.b3.

Yeah. Nakamura plays it.

This reply is so stupid it hurts.

If you quote it incompletely in a way that it loses it's meaning, as you did, it certainly seems less useful.

What about 1. g3?

With 1.b3, you often play Black openings tempo up. 1.g3 can lead to normal openings (1.g3 e5 2.c4 or 1.g3 d5 2.Nf3) or to reversed Pirc plus is very annoying against King's Indian players (you can force them into g3 Pirc lines)
