They never show the names anyways. They just call it “Files”, “Web”… Generic terms that get tons of unrelated search results. They don’t even call it “GNOME Files”, “GNOME Web”, it’s like they want to be the only program on your computer that does that, like they own the concept.
What do you think Gnome Seahorse does? What utility function does that small piece of software perform, based on its name? I’ll give you a hint: It directly competes with KDE’s Kleopatra. Did you guess GPG and other encryption key generator/manager? Because that’s what those are for. Not sure how KDE kissed “Keyring.”
I’m not sure if it’s Gnome that started it, but file managers often have a nautical theme. Gnome Nautilus, Cinnamon Nemo, KDE Dolphin…
I found more value in knowing which web browser is used because I’ve used my computer more than 5 minutes and know the difference between Firefox and Epiphany. Same with Totem over VLC, etc.
I never understood the GNOME logic rename Totem, Nautilus, Epiphany, etc… Granted, I don’t understand much about GNOME.

Basically what he said
Epiphany doesn’t automatically tell you what it is
Gnome Web does
Gnome is big in the accessibility community and stuff like this helps

I imagine you aren’t part of the target “accessibility” audience
Because it barely exists
