Just because a person has a mass amount of data on people doesn't mean they understand them. People are capable of learning. If you go to another country/region you have to learn what the currency is to use it even if you will only be there for a short time. Personally, I think this change would only create further confusion and slow down the adoption process by the everyday individual, but it won't slow down the larger corporate or government groups that wish to capture as much of the market while they still can.

Sure. If I go to another country I use their currency or just my credit card that doesn't charge me for international purchases. I don't learn the name of the individual coins or whatever. It just works. Bitcoin is not so straightforward though. And there is no easy way to use it. I have to find loopholes and work arounds. The only thing I am using bitcoin for by paying directly is data for my phone and my Proton Mail account. There is no other easy way for me to use Bitcoin in my day to day life. Its like using Yen in the US - no one will recognize the money. My main point is that we should think about ways to make it more accessible. Maybe it is clarifying names, or maybe it is something else. But dismissing things just because people should be able to do this or that isn't how we make things easier. Clearly things could be improved. I think it is good to discuss these things.
I agree about making things easier. So maybe Jack should implement Lightning into Square which make far more accessible to the everyday person when they go shopping where Square devices are being used. If some random pleb that most people don't know had made the same suggestion about changing names people would laugh it off and move on already, but this a corporate billionaire who has many ways of influencing the culture. When he wore a Satoshi shirt to the Super Bowl (one of the most popular and expensive live events in the world) it had great influence and the culture supported him. Myself being one of them. This time the majority of the culture seems to be saying, 'no'.
