the very quote you responded to specified that the problem was one of claiming exclusivity of a particular person
Fair enough. But “my” doesn’t always *have to* be exclusive.
I can talk about my family, my country and my religion at great length, but none of them are mine exclusively. When people say “Oh my God” I don’t think they mean “Mine and mine alone.” They mean it in the same collective sense as the other items I mentioned.
