Agreed.
It's one thing to do this to learn more about software development, it's another to give it a name and a website.
They're really leaning into the "I'm just an intern without commercial intents" narrative, but regardless of their intent, it's still incredibly unethical to create something similar your previous employer's IP and market it independently.

Can you explain why you think it is unethical? Provided no noncompete clauses or other previous agreements were violated.
Then why would OP tell them about that? Sounds to me like the latest thing you'd do
Likely OP didn't think it was unethical, which is why they shared, but that doesn't change the fact that it was.
