I've been using emacs a couple of years now (and eglot) and from my experience 
names do not matter that much - it is more to guide the user where to look and 
what to use - e.g. for source code navigation lsp, etags, ctags, gtags, 
dumb-jump (dumb-jump works actually really well in many situations) ... so they 
have a clear path in front of them. 

Having an lsp client in emacs (whatever the name is) would make it possible to 
tell users (can even be on a splash screen) -> to IDE type this.
