While some languages like English have reused nice pre-existing words for the "CS feature" concept, others use terribly contrived bureaucratic words, and I suspect some do not even have any local word for "feature".

Not really ... the word 'feature' used in this way is pretty old.

You're describing how English speakers chose to apply a general word for to a very specific context. You could replace feature with element, property or part in your examples. You can not replace it in the proposed slogan. Because feature in the slogan has a very specific CS jargon meaning, and this specific meaning does not translate well.
