Wappalyzer: wink and ink get detected on almost all websites that have ink in their name / content

Title says it all.. but just take a close look at https://wappalyzer.com/applications/ink and https://wappalyzer.com/applications/wink. I work on a website that has the common dutch winkel (shop in english) suffix. All websites that have that suffix get a false positive on wink and ink.

Actually this happens not only for domains with ink in their name. It even happens on local IP development servers sometimes on project of my own (where I haven't used Ink of course).

Yeah if you look at the stats sites like linkedin reddit etc get mentioned. But they don't actually use it.
