What's wrong with that is the reason trademarks exist: Confusion.

If something is called "alpine-glibc", it's reasonable to expect that it's by the alpine people and supported like alpine.

This, as we see here, annoys the alpine people because they now get bug reports and support requests from people using it, and have to direct people elsewhere. And when it doesn't work, they get the hit to their image even tho they've had nothing to do with it.
