I'm extrapolating, things rarely stay restricted to the
original use they existed for. At some point I expect
they'll put something on it that users become aware of
and think "it'd be much more convenient if we could
use the same on the internet"

If they restrict it to internal use then it's non news,
anyone can make up stuff with risk of later collision,
and isn't on topic here.
