It doesn't matter what the policy says if there is no legal basis for it. WordPress can't prevent Nominative Use, everyone can call the thing they are doing "WordPress hosting" if it is WordPress hosting. If the policy doesn't allow that, the policy can be ignored.

Even if WordPress could suppress nominative use, do they really want a world where everyone selling wordpress-based services and products avoids saying "WordPress" like it was the name of The Dark Lord Himself? Maybe it's time for some malicious compliance by way of a hard fork that strips the word "WordPress" everywhere except where legally required.

Even if Mullenweg somehow had 100% of the facts and law on his side, he's still an embarrassment to both the company and the foundation.
