what’s wrong with the name Bard?
It's frustrating when a product has a generic name that returns pages of unrelated search results. It's also frustrating when the name gives no real hint about what it does.

Does Reddit do that too? Is it just on the "new" UI? I know TikTok encodes it in an inconspicuous way, the ID in the shared URL just looks like a normal ID but it's different from the bare video ID. Then both of you (I think) get a "Do you know person xyz?" type of notification.
Reddit encodes the whole thing in an opaque blob, giving you a URL like reddit.com/share/ that cannot be transformed into any other format without fetching it.

Proper engineering requires observing and working with real-world constraints. Ignoring constraints is a form of magical thinking. One real-world constraint is that end-users won't always do what you intend for them to with the thing you engineered.
