They're buying into it partially because they are being introduced to it as "Stroll", with only a rapid side mention of "tiddlywiki". More importantly, they're probably not from the largest English speaking country on the planet. Once again, notice that a high proportion of the people coming to the forum are from the EU or UK.
The name prevents people, IN THE ABSENCE OF EVANGELIZATION, to skip it when looking for solutions. There are dozens (hundreds?) of personal information managers and wikis. People don't time to evaluate all of them. So they'll skip solutions that are have unappealing names. But if they're watching a video, and getting the product presented by someone who has already evaluated the product, they'll listen longer.
