That's because people are .... not very knowledgeable about even the slightest technical issue (to put it nicely). Back in the 8-bit days everything was an "Atari." It didn't matter who made it, if it played video games it was an Atari. And people would complain that they couldn't play their Mattel games in their Atari 2600, after all they were both Ataris.
Some people can't be bothered to learn anything, at all, and it's their own fault when issues like this crop up.
