It actually always bother me when I order a "martini" and am served some cocktail and not a Vermouth of the Martini distillery. Back to the 1860s!

Kidding aside, I agree with you. And I remember how surprised I was when I lived in the US and ordered a "martini" for the first time there.

I ordered a gin martini yesterday. Measure twice, cut once.
