maybe apple should have changed ipod to avoid confusing it with a pre-existing music device:

Or Swift, to avoid confusion with the scripting language Swift - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_(parallel_scripting_lang...

Or iPad https://www.bbc.com/news/business-18669394

Etc.

With Apple, being a corporation and not a moral actor, it comes down to “might makes right” when it comes to trademark and other IP laws.
