Is it bizarre? It's a general term that can be applied in many contexts. A digital twin is a high-detail, precise, simulacrum of a physical object or objects and their relationships. It's more than modeling traffic flow, it's a way to refer to the practice of digitizing the state of objects. I've heard the term before in the context of manufacturing, so it doesn't sound odd to me.

The real benefit is when you can run simulations at scale using “digital twins” in different configurations. - how many people will need to buy diapers this month, based on the similarities they have with people who just started buying diapers last month? - given past failures of all machine components, what is the expected uptime of this facility in different configurations?
