Either words matter, in which case caring about how they're used is reasonable, or they don't, in which case there's no force to calling something evil, and also no force to being told you need to "reprogram your emotional reaction."
Obviously words matter, and obviously using stark words to describe increasingly less stark things dilutes them and inures us to the things that actually qualify.

Customer obsession means all practical decisions (i.e. how much they pollute, etc.) take a back seat to whether or not it is improving the customer experience. Amazon is basically a crack dealer.
Any word that describes both delivering stuff to your door and Pol Pot is, perhaps, a little too broad to be useful.

I'm the dude who parks in BF Egpyt and hits three or more stores without ever moving the car, and if I buy anything I will take it back to the car before I go to the next store. Planned transportation.
