Why the game Grand Theft Auto is called Grand Theft Auto when the majority of players just buy or spawn cars instead of stealing them on the streets?

The name “Grand Theft Auto” is derived from the legal term for the crime of stealing a motor vehicle, which is commonly referred to as “grand theft auto.” While players in the game do have the option to steal cars, the title encompasses a broader theme of criminal activities and open-world gameplay. In the game, players engage in a wide range of activities beyond just car theft, such as heists, missions, and other criminal pursuits. So, while car theft is a part of the game, the name reflects the criminal underworld and freedom of choice that the game offers to players.
