I understand you might’ve meant it as a joke, but if the universe allows it and there is a netfuckerpro, I will buy it twenty times before I even read the specs of the crs5b278n492653b
The problem is that it’s often harder to get the technical end-user to convince their non-technical boss to buy your product than to convince the boss directly. But you gotta use non-technical arguments then.
I don’t see it a lot with consumer electronics. Most other network switches I’ve dealt with don’t have as useful names as MikroTik’s.
TP-Link have a switch called the TL-SX3016F. Sure, you can guess that the 16 means 16 ports, but there’s no discernable info other than that. Netgear have names like XS716T which are also meaningless other than the 16. D-link have DGS-1510-20 which is similar (20 ports).
This is how many companies generate a p/n, unless marketing gets involved.
Just doesn’t sound as sexy as NetFuckerPro Phantom Xtreme. With four ports and speeds up to 100Mbps!

And that’s why companies spend money on marketing lol
You’re right, and it’s Stockholm Syndrome from a century of ad psychology refinement.
Yep, I’ve even personally witnessed the arguments in business to business sales. When the marketing gets invited, sanity is no longer a welcome.

The tp link s= switch x=10g 30 is probably generation or model tier 16= ports F= SFP
