Are you suggesting "political correctness" is the only reason someone might be discouraged from installing a program named after toilet humor and juvenile references to specific parts of the anatomy? I've let my kids watch plenty of children's movies with fart jokes in them, but I still don't want to hear more of that when I'm trying to use a tool to access a banking service. It seems there's even still a banking module with a crude poop icon: https://woob.tech/applications/bank.html

Doesn't really inspire confidence in their professionalism or trustworthiness with handling financial transactions, if you ask me.

I see your point, but "professionalism" brings to mind things like enterprise software, which is not exactly great either. It's sterile, but just as bug-ridden and user-hostile/difficult to use.

Quirky naming and crude humour can be orthogonal to functionality.
