And if someone made yet an even more powerful program called cocaine, that would be okay too, because the name fits so well. right?

That's funny because Apple maintains Coca, which is the name of the plant source of Cocaine. The Coca plant is controlled/regulated by the DEA exactly like cocaine is. So by following Apple's example in Apple's ecosystem it is okay to name things directly after drugs.
Cocoa and coca are not the same.
