I thought this reply was a joke. Nope. That's really what they called the Moderna vaccine. WHAT IS GOING ONhttps://twitter.com/ihabunek/status/1430035707918229507 …

You’re right, the public will call products whatever is more convenient for them. But companies still have to give their products distinctive names. The public doesn’t have to use them, and if using the company’s name is enough, they won’t, as the examples you brought show.

It’s about the entropy of a statement in a given context. If a company only has released one well-known product (like Moderna), the company’s name provides enough information. But if you go to the store to buy the latest Nvidia card, you’ll have to be specific about 3080 or 3070

Not to beat the dead horse, but even that seems unlikely. The vast majority of purchasers don't know what kind of nVidia card they're getting. It is often the salesperson that decides for them, or the OEM. It's much like the vaccine - the medical professional picks it.
