Whether the marketing is what someone thinks is not material. If any advertiser asked for comments... there would be NO acceptable marketing decisions made, no one could satisfy all the craziness that people post.

Respectfully, nope. New brands and advertisement campaigns are very often based on preliminary marketing research, with questionnaires and interviews to real people. A friend of mine did that for a living.
We are simply reporting a fact here: friends and mates were misled by the name into believing that CoD was another expansion of the original Il2. Whether this will depress sales or not, I don't know. Whether UBI did a marketing research to sort out Il2:CoD, I don't know either.
