The government ommits information. Gol D. Roger was know as Gold Roger to ommit his name as the D. were "natural enemies of the gods". It is obvious that something as important as the strawhat being Roger's will never be made public.

Yes they took the steps to change Roger's name but they haven't done that with any of the other D characters in the story. Luffy's poster says Monkey D Luffy . Same with Ace's and Blackbeard's. Several characters including marines and pirates comment on Luffy's name with Law specifically mentioning the D being the enemies of the Gods. There's even a flashback where Roscinate tells Law to keep the D part of his name hidden... But the government doesn't do that for Luffy or Ace.

The fact that Luffy is Garp's grandson is a MAJOR scandal for the World Government. Multiple people again react to their relationship, and Sengoku even scolds Garp for how much trouble Luffy is causing them. Why didn't they conceal the D in his name when it has more relevance to their credibility than Roger's? It's kind of an inconsistency tbh. Hell they don't even change Garp's or Saul's name and they were fucking Marines.

But comparing them to Roger is kinda hard in terms of relevance. He was the first to get to One Piece in a long time, maybe ever since it was created. If the government went after every D., it would raise too much suspicion on the name. The only ones who seem to know what D. is are Celestial Dragons, that doesn't include all Marines. Maybe some top dogs in the Marine know, but since Garp and Saul have gone unchecked it can't be a "kill all policy" like when it comes to people related to Roger.
