They're both software. Its easily conceivable that a non-moron could search for one and mistake it for the other. This case seems like an actual violation whose enforcement would be much more reasonable than most other disputes that have made the news the last few years.

The only "not great" thing is that it is Apple that have introduced this as a problem, not this app developer. Which is a bit brutish.
It would be "less brutish" if the app developer were to have done it?
Well I was trying to choose a relatively non-negative word. Apple made an app, then "bought" a name - and then enforced it.

Kosher, yep I guess. A little forceful; yes definitely.

It's not something most people would make a habit of doing.
