Just because some random arbitrary private namespace out there happens to get popular, doesn’t mean the rest of society needs to “officially” recognize it, legitimize it, adopt it, regulate it, or take it seriously. It’s just a pathname component in someone’s website, and it’s their site, just like a hypothetical “Apple” directory on my computer which contains a file called “Disney” is my file in my directory on my computer, and no one else deserves .0000001% say in the matter.
