That's a common trap engineers fall into. Just because you found some similarities, doesn't yet mean there's a pattern. Instead of looking for accidental similarities, see if you can spot fundamental differences. Only if you can prove there are none, then you can claim they are the same concept. Take any SaaS, where a single account can have multiple users. Feature flag is usually an account level concept. Authorization is a user level concept. Just because they both implement a conditional doesn't yet mean they are the same concept.
