It's quite off-puting branding, playing with the flag of a bureaucratic institution like the EU.

If it was about what Europeans create, I would be receptive. Instead, they are promoting whatever is in the European Commission agenda, which is radically different to what I need.

EU adopted it's flag from and existing institution of which virtually all European nations as part of.

It seems like a case of appropriation until you realize that most European supranational organizations share similar origins, goals and members.
