Micron seems like a bad naming choice...maybe it predates the manufacturer?

It's the abbreviation of Micro Oberon, therefore a quite obvious naming choice; there is no real risk of confusion with commercial offers under this name; it's also a common name in science.

Wouldn't be surprising if the computer/RAM company had registered the trademark in some countries for the field of software.

They surely have better things to do than worry about what I call my programming language.

If they have a trademark they don't defend, they can lose it.

The word "micron" is a common unit of measurement (μm). The trademark Micron™ only applies to microelectronic hardware, I suppose.

I hope you are correct, but probably continuing the discussion usefully would require doing a trademark search.
