These are all major commercial services that can afford advertising or are already more than established. Most FOSS doesn’t have these perks.
I don't even necessarily disagree, but I think that position is unfalsifiable because if the example is a highly popular program then "that doesn't count because it's big", and if it has a small user base then "of course it's small, it has a shitty name".
Fair enough. But all of these are heavily advertised.

Nobody's going to forget the name of the browser they use every single day. But if it's some niche tool that I have to look up every time I use it once every few years, that's more difficult.
