I must be missing something. I see sheim Hashem in sefarim all the time.
And people who are nohagim not to say sheim Hashem in this context, which
I assume would vehemently include RSGanzfried, simply say out loud
"Elokim". I mean, that's what every maggid shiur quoting (eg) the Rambam
or the siddur does in every shiur I've been to.

Why here is there a special question about it?

A lichtikn un freilechn Chanukah!
