The term vanilla is often used to refer to the most basic or unmodified version of something. This makes sense if you consider all the different ice-cream choices, but doesn't really make sense when you think about vanilla itself. Vanilla in its more basic form (often used in cooking) is a quite powerful flavor and isn't really plain at all.
But an unmodified version of something is also something unique in its own right so I guess it makes sense.
