Seems like the sort of thing a kid would roll their eyes at before correcting their parents.
We would, but the parents would keep on making those mistakes until we grew up and finally had the authority to correct them. Also, as you said, Nintendo got competition from Sega, Sony, and Microsoft.

This quote was attributed to Nelson Mandela, but was actually in a eulogy by then-president Barack Obama during his funeral:
It all seems impossible until it is done.
While that could be applied to many, many things (such as a hugely-grossing franchise like Winnie-the-Pooh entering the public domain after decades of term extensions), it could also apply to the fight against SOPA and PIPA: defeating those bills was impossible until they were defeated.
Here's the thing, though:
Not all Sriracha is made in Sriracha, Thailand.
Not all Buffalo wing sauce is made in Buffalo, New York, US.
Would you rather it be the way that only people in a region in Thailand or a city in the US could call it that way? Because that's what it's like in Europe…
I'd respond to your debunk talking points, but they've been debunked over and over that it's barely worth my time answering them (even in a paraleiptic fashion such as this).

Too little, too late.
While it's a good thing that AT&T/Discovery/whoever owns DirectTV did this, this is far too little, too late. The damage is already done.

It was for the parents of my Generation. Some other people called video games "Sega", but "Nintendo" was more common.
