Um...If I'm not mistaken, up until about 10 years ago, Dodge trucks all used to say DODGE on the back. Pretty much every truck maker has or is putting their name on the tailgate. Chevy certainly isn't the only one doing that. Ram isn't copying anyone by spelling out their name on the tailgate.
I agree that the giant ram's head badge is not a good look. I'd rather just be able to shave all the badges from the tailgate and keep it clean. But it's not a big enough deal to go through the work needed to make it look good. Besides, I don't have to look at it all the time. Now don't get me started with the badge on the airbag that I do have to look at all the time LOL.2001 Dodge 1500 SLT emblem. I would trade RAM in similar or smaller letters for the Ram's head.

If something is driving you absolutely crazy, it's probably obnoxious. Yelling and stomping your feet is obnoxious. Poking someone repeatedly is obnoxious. Driving like a maniac is obnoxious.
Ram's heads on the 5th Gen gets close to obnoxious and may be to some. I'm still contemplating what to do.
