At least it is the only software project so not technically a dupe

Yep, and allows them to trademark the name, which has some legal benefit.

Descriptive names generally can't be trademarked, so postmarketOS wasn't eligible. Nura is the only computer project with that name and it isn't descriptive, so can be trademarked (in the computer or software field).
