My reply was to phrasing in the GP comment that has since changed (It talked about poaching being a literary allusion to dating or marriage).
I definitely think some business use of the word poaching is intended to stir up the idea that some sort of trespass has occurred, but language also tends to like such cute usages (regardless of the presence of an underlying agenda).
