The term "Bcash" is a social engineering attack against big blocks[0]. This attack has been so successful, the name still shows on Wikipedia[1].

Is it? Or is trying to call it """bitcoin"" cash an attempt to confuse potential users?

Perhaps, if it wasn't a fork of Bitcoin. If was originally called Cash Coin and rebranded to Bitcoin Cash, then it would seem likely that group is trying to capitalize on the name. That's not the case here. This name came naturally, just like similar names occur in other forked software.[0]

Bitcoin Cash came from a minority group (big blocks) in the Bitcoin community.[1]

I think calling CAD the Canadian “”dollar”” is an attempt to confuse people! /s
