Not really ... the word 'feature' used in this way is pretty old.
You're describing how English speakers chose to apply a general word for
to a very specific context. You could replace feature with element,
property or part in your examples. You can not replace it in the
proposed slogan. Because feature in the slogan has a very specific CS
jargon meaning, and this specific meaning does not translate well.
