It does feel like the "Kleenex" or "Velcro" of the TTRPG world, but it is shorter and easier to explain to people not in the hobby. If I say to my relatives that I "play D&D", they at least have an idea of what I'm talking about. If I say I play Pathfinder, they will ask, "What's that?", to which I respond, "like D&D". Trust me, they don't give a shit about the differences. They just think it's weird for a grown man to prefer make pretend to sports.
