According to Wikipedia pages 14, 18, 1488, 8814 are also common Nazi's symbols. I personally feel the birthday explanation more likely as I see a lot of people doing that (without the nerdy base 2).

But yeah, I'm not sure of anything now, if you told me a few years ago that dozens of billionaires would go full on highlander on 2025 I wouldn't have believed you...
