      I suppose that’s fair, though it does seem to plague tech particularly. Or maybe it’s just that tech is more public-facing about its nonsensical names and designations for shit.

        None of this is nonsensical though.

        • Adafruit - brand name; meaningless in any industry.
        • ESP32-S3 - product code; random numbers in any industry.
        • Reverse - screen is on the back.
        • TFT - Abbreviation for the display technology.
        • u.FL - Abbreviation for the antenna type.

        You could easily have something like that about e.g. mountain biking:
