Nobody reads the rsync man page and assumes that it is recommending a commercial product. And nobody is going to read an "enhanced" rsync man page and get incentivised to start an open-source software project.
Everybody knows that a mention of "Word" or "Photoshop" in an example refers to a generic data file in an example rsync command line. Stop with the politically correct nonsense. All this is doing is wasting people's time.
