No, I think they got exactly right

Company names are not a game of hack-a-mouse. You think you're being smart, you're just being another annoying Ackshually guy

They are names that should be useable across many systems and use cases.

Let's say the UK registry fixes their systems, but now you need to have your company name across other suppliers/vendors systems. Congrats, you played yourself

We are grown ups, we can disagree without resorting to ad homenim. (Might be time for you to review the HN code of conduct.)

The "you" in that phrase means a 3rd person creating a funny company name (speaking of HN code of conduct, it explicitly advocates for assuming good faith)
