❓ Why UserFriendly?
Why this name of SF Symbols library includes UserFriendly?
The symbol can't use and you can know with the alert on Xcode when your lower OS target version doesn't reach available version of the given symbol.

And also, you don't need to type system name when you intialize images with any symbols.
