I personally convinced Microsoft to rename GVFS a few years ago (because same name as a GNU project) using similar tactics, just because I thought it would be funny. All it took was front page of HN, a few reddit re-posts, and Slashdot, all driving traffic to a github issue. They went from outright refusing to ever doing anything about it to completely bending over in a matter of days. Major corporations with their toes in the open source space are _terrified_ of dev communities turning on them.
