+1 thank you for taking action on this.

Predicate not captures the majority use case very concisely and clearly.

I am reluctant to go for an alternative or companion Predicate.of, and would need to think carefully about that idiom and it's application on other functional interfaces (perhaps we went too far adding such default methods to these interfaces…).
