Reminds me of the video game market and the generalizations made there.
During the late-80's and early-to-mid-90's, regardless of the system you were playing, you were "playing Nintendo."
The late-90's up until about 2007-ish, you were "playing Playstation." (I had a Gameboy Advance, and my mom would ask what game I wanted for my Playstation)
Now, it's "playing X-Box."
The most popular/highest-selling brand was/is used to generalize what the player was using.
Also like the south and "Coke." "What kind of Coke do you want?" "Mountain Dew."
