So you have to resort to the most extreme examples in order to make it a problem? Do you also think of Hitler when you encounter a word "vegetarian"?

Is that what you think hitler was very famous for?
The extreme examples are an analogy that highlight the shape of the comparison with a more generally loathed / less niche example.
OpenAI is a thing with lots and lots of personal data that the consumers trust OpenAI not to abuse or lose. They chose a product name that matches a us government program that secretly and illegal breached exactly that kind of trust.
Hitler vegetarians isn't a great analogy because vegetarianism isn't related to what made hitler bad. Something closer might be Exxon or BP making a hairgel called "Oilspill" or Dupont making a nail polish called "Forever Chem".
They could have chosen anything but they chose one specifically matching a recent data stealing and abuse scandal.
