"So now we have to come up with a Through the Omenpaths equivalent, like a rock on Bloomburrow or some shit, have R&D look into that"

They're both rocks. One just has more art of it.

What I can't get over is that they don't even have the same subtypes. How? Why? It's not like Marvel owns a trademark on the word "infinity" right?

Wow I actually never noticed that until now. That's kinda odd for the game too, they kinda have to have the same rules and type/subtype for it to work. I don't know how the rules fully work, but it could be that they're both "stones" and Infinity/Terminus is an adjective or something. I have no clue what is going on anymore.

My guess is the subtypes are "Infinity Stone" (one subtype) and "Terminus Stone" (another single subtype), where either name refers to the same thing.

Multi-word subtypes have been a thing for a short while though ever since "Time Lord" (and maybe earlier, but all I can think of is "Assembly-Worker").

Edit: they are separate subtypes. See below.
