What "HD craze" was there from 2015-2020?

"HD" as a marketing buzzterm for products where "High Definition" technically doesn't make sense. Like adding 2.0 everywhere.

The only example of that I can remember was "HD sunglasses" but I don't recall that ever being a widespread fad. I only saw people ever joke about that.

HD as far as I ever saw it used generally referred to 720p and soon after 1080p. Which is a pretty objective, non-marketing definition. And the timeframe of 2015-2020 seems way off. 1080p was pretty standard by like 2010. YouTube started streaming 4K in 2010.

I remember stuff like "HD" whitening toothpaste, HD flashlights, and HD radio

HD GIFs, most likely.
