It's just how language evolves. Maybe the extra force insinuated in "yeet" helps differentiate, depending on the person.

In the end, as long as you understand, then what has been communicated has succeeded, even if it's weird.

I think there's a sublety missing that yeet implies thrown with great force but without care for the direction.

Yeet for distance, kobe for accuracy.
