That's because it's mostly not meant for the users to change, and that's
because users should not need to touch it.
`company-backends' in contrast contains a mishmash of things, 90% of
which is irrelevant to any given situation.

A good naming convention for them would be welcome, indeed.

Indeed, there's no such thing yet. Nothing prevents us from providing
a "completion-at-point-merge-backends" function which takes a list of
completion-at-point-functions and returns a new completion-at-point-function.
company-backends and completion-at-point-functions don't work 100%
identically, but the differences are present only because of history.
If Company had started with completion-at-point-functions it would live
very happily with it.
