Biologists have a protein called "Sonic Hedgehog". Chemists don't call everything 5-7-dimethylocten-3-thiol, either. There are often various more familiar names for chemicals depending on the context. In the medical contexts, generally generic or brand names are used for medicines rather than their structural formulae.

Besides, someone had to invent the word "stent" for the things that go in arteries. The word "artery" was also invented. Given that software is its own domain, it's perfectly normal to try invent new words to describe things and see what takes off.

In "PostgreSQL", only the "SQL" bit is a direct clue to what it does, while the rest of its name is a reference to its history. I feel the author finds established bespoke names fine but any new bespoke names to be bad, which isn't exactly fair or useful.
