Yeah, this reminds me of "asbestos" which is not a single thing and has many non-dangerous examples, but has been banned because a few of them (and contamination is a worry) are a significant hazard. If the different structures were just called something different, they might have significant commercial applications, but "asbestos".

Same thing with MRI with the removal of Nuclear from NMR. Sure the 3D imaging is cool, but you know that they had to remove that N from the name for marketing.

Ok, and then there's EUV lithography. Don't call it X-Ray lithography even though it's 13nm, because there were decades of expensive failures with that marketing.
