"maybe it’s just the unusual way how I manage things I read and watch online"
I think it's quite typical actually.
Think about phone numbers pre speed dial and obviously smartphone. Much easier to hit a button now which is a visual indication of who you are calling rather than seeing a list of phone numbers and remembering that a certain sequence is who you want. Definitely less chance for error. And that's even if presented with a list.
I don't think that anyone can argue that for a "normal" user there is less chance of error with something descriptive.
Or take medications. Medication names aren't always easy but whatever they are they are much easier to not make mistakes with because they aren't numbers. For both doctors, patients and pharmacists.

"Nexium" vs. "#2390045"
Not to mention the other obvious example, domain names to solve essentially the issue of remembering IP addresses.
