I'm sort of with you on some of your complaints (e.g. job titles), but this one doesn't stand. Do you want to ensure when we talk about amazon that we're talking about a river? That when we talk about googol we're talking about 10^100? Words are frequently reappropriated for company and product names, and that's fine.

TBH yes. I wish search engines had an "exclude branding" modifier to search terms. Too many products appropriate too many terms from other domains these days.
