Completely agree with you.

It reminds me that in the USA there are rules for what constitutes a bourbon whiskey. You can make and enjoy other types of whiskey, just don't call them Bourbon.

There's also Jack Daniel's, from what I remember they actually pass the requirements to be a Bourbon, but the company chooses not to label it that way. That's also fine!

What wouldn't be fine is a whiskey calling itself rum or vodka, because when I buy one I don't expect to get the other.
