People aren’t going to confuse a physical knife with this.

Android is the most popular operating system on earth. Names can overlap but you shouldn’t choose one where you can’t live up to owning it.

People likewise won't confuse a DI framework for Android with a GitHub Actions replacement. Complaints about overlapping names would make sense if both Daggers were DI frameworks or Github Actions replacements, but they're not.

People absolutely might confuse a DI framework for Android with this, seeing as lots of teams use both? They are both software products, to start?

Dagger, the DI framework, is very popular, supported by Google, and the primary way to do DI on Android (for many). It is not going anywhere. It is unlikely that this tool or product will create a bigger audience. Therefore, it might never "live up to the name," compared to the benchmark set by current Dagger. It's a simple concept.
