It's the design musings of a non-designer who barely considers the actual discipline of design, let alone marketing. "This site suits my immediate needs best it must be best," is as good of a design practice as a naive non-developer slapping together some PHP and saying "well it runs great for me on my laptop so it must run great everywhere else."

Someone who'd name a potentially customer-facing piece of software "Medusa" probably isn't considering users needs nearly as much as they assume. If a non-technical user saw an error with the word "Medusa" in it pop up on a website they just handed their credit card info to, even if things go fine, that's going to generate a lot of anxiety. On the business side of things, stuff like that actually matters.
