Depends on what you mean by "the subject". dbt doesn't claim to be a testing tool. Personally I use dbt all the time, while I didn't know about the existence of DBT-2. Different worlds apparently.
Have you ever been burned by trying to install Docker and getting the whole new desktop manager installed because Docker is a widget in that desktop manager (I believe it's in Gnome)?
Actually happened to me twice (different distros at different times did include Docker, the container management tool as "docker" while more commonly naming it something else, like "docker-engine").
As for dbt. I mean... imagine you are selecting the name for your company, that's in SQL business, and you don't even bother to type into your favorite Web search engine "dbt sql"... I mean, it's definitely a business about DataBases, so, certainly a 3-letter acronym with "D" and "B" in it in that order would be truly unique, right?
I'd bet is that what happened is that these people, just like you, thought "I don't know what that is, so it must be unimportant", and they never stopped to consider that they might not know something important about the field they are in.
