This is nothing new, even for IT

In most of my formal education, names for scenarios and examples were always chosen at random and were not limited to the localised language. It wasn’t uncommon to see Indian or African sounding names, provided they could be easily pronounced when reading during lectures.

Gotta love the oxymoronic terminology used to justify the change they’re proposing though!
