It's similar to //e which is how Apple IIe was stylized. If it's not going to be a trademark issue, it seems like a clever branding hack to me. Anyone who grew up in the 80s & early 90s or earlier might be subtly influenced by it.
I think /e/ cute and that plenty of brands have succeeded despite being unrecognizable and unsearchable.
The meaningful symbol seems related to AirBnb and their bélo [1], which I think was largely successful.
