No one is saying Wolfram is a God, I am just saying that he is an authority on mathematical programming.
Mathematica is very successful, and based on sound mathematical principles.
If you do not want to accept Wolfram as an authority, that's up to you I suppose.

I also see Maple uses arcsinh etc.

Mathematica and Maple are two of the main mathematical programs out there.
I see no real useful purpose in going against their standards.
And I think you will be hard pressed to find 'H' in the notation for inverse hyperbolic functions in math textbooks.
