There’s colloquial use, what you’re talking about, and then there’s the actual branding on the product and the marketing. Only the company with the trademark can use the trademarked work on the product and in their marketing.

Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?
The usage is specific to a market, however. For example, Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets. Both trademark “Delta.”
Ever been to the south? Coke is literally the term for all soda. Can I get an orange coke?

Totally different market sectors.
Yes because that’s exactly how it is in Germany. Coke isn’t a trademark. CokaCola is.
