I used to live in a European city where many streets of a given neighbourhood belonged to the same lexical field. If somebody lived in "Falcon" street, you could go to their neighbourhood without knowing the exact street. There were neighbourhoods about birds, doctors, journalists, and IDK what else. I do not know why people do not do that more often.
Roads that have consecutive numbers are also useful.
These w3w words can be useful for logistics but they seem to be useless for human beings.

You almost have to admire the blatantness of the grift.
