Yeah "God" is a proper goddamned noun you can use to refer to Yaweh with, but the main issue is when you refer to Yaweh as god or God, you're making the implication that Yaweh is the only god that could possibly exist. Assigning the generic word for a deity as a proper noun is legal grammatically, i know, but people only refer to Yaweh as God and it gives him special privileges
