Based on the branding, I think their target demographic assumes the dev in /dev/null is short for "Developers"
It's a cute name, but considering how combative developers can be about naming, I think it should have been more clever than cute.
If 'dev' is developer, 'null' makes me think it's for worthless developers, or for things that developers don't care about.
dev = developer
bin = trash
