It's a very odd complaint. I can't see your point.

I think his complaint is about the word "star" in the name. Since we're
talking astronomy here, the word "star" has a very specific meaning in
this field (i.e. a big ball of plasma undergoing nuclear fusion), so why
would they name this region of space with the word "star" in it, when
it's clearly something way more than any star. When you say the name out
loud, "Sagittarius A Star", it sounds like you're talking about a star,
like "Alpha Centauri B star", or "Sirius A star".
