> I just go for Auth0 these days

That's a service that manages OAuth2 for you, for $ at scale

I was just at a developer conference and was amazed at how many people used Auth0 and OAuth interchangeably. They've done a super job of capturing mindshare, and have a great brand.
More likely those people were somewhat junior. It makes no sense to interchange a vendor with a technology unless the name is literally the same.

Isilon for instance was a brand where there main product was... Isilon clusters.

Possible. I didn't dig into their understanding, but this past week wasn't the first time it has happened.
Never even heard of Auth0, lol
The world's a big place!
