I don't think it's an issue of accusing people of fallacies or biases that have catchy names particularly. It's an issue with ones that are well-known and easier brought to mind, with name-catchiness just being one of the causes of that availability.
That is why I specified that the real essence of the problem is being vague, and advised to avoid it "whether [the counterargument] makes a fallacy accusation or not".
