This made me laugh, and you're not wrong exactly, but I will note that "flock" is also used for birds, and birds are frequently used as a metaphor for freedom just as much as sheep are used as a metaphor for mindless group-following behaviour.
Either way, I wouldn't read too much into it.

I believe "FLoC" comes from the phrase "birds of a feather flock together", which is a decent metaphor for how the proposal works (Disclosure: I work for Google, speaking only for myself)
