There absolutely is when your concern is not only moving away from Google but also using sustainable hardware like Fairphone, which GrapheneOS doesn't support afaik.
This just feels like an old man yelling at clouds, trying to convince himself that the grass in greener in the other field.

This happens every day. In every scientific field there is a technical name and then the name everyone remembers. Nobody will understand if I speak about ENSG00000164690, but if I say it's the Sonic HedgeHog gene then it starts to make sense, because funny names are memorable.

I'd like to see anyone try to defend how using the creator's initials in a tool name describe its function. Unless you researched the tool's history, there is no way to know that.
Yet another "why the tools I use are the best and the tools you use suck", with a weird focus on naming instead of function.
That's why I put all my projects as subdomains of the only one I've bought, this way they just hang in there. So even though rumengol.net has nothing (procrastination, yay), there are 5 (soon 6) subdomains with active or dead side projects in them.
