If they'd chosen BeOS as the foundation instead of NeXT the system would just silently hang. Be decided that busy indicators like an hourglass or hypno-wheel were an admission of failure and so they just didn't implement them.

Ironically the hypnowheel is often (not always) a sign that the foundation is alive and well: it's the WindowServer's way of letting you know that an app is not responding to UI events.

Did they really have no English speakers anywhere in the process that lead to choosing that name?
No, afraid not - totally Japanese homegrown and originally deeply integrated with Twitter, hence the name.
The hypnowheel is the NeXT sign of quality, showing that the Mac is now built on a robust foundation.
