Eh, it's part anal retention, part joke, part not wanting to give WotC the brand recognition.

Then you should use it as generically as possible so that the trademark becomes unenforceable. Brand dilution is a thing, it's why Alphabet doesn't want you using "google" as a verb, and why your mom was actually based for calling your Playstation "a nintendo".
