Names certainly do matter: they're how we effectively communicate with each other. If you call it a mappable, and someone else calls it a chainable (as was said elsewhere in this comment thread), how have we eased confusion? If I try to google what a chainable is, what will I find? On the other hand, if I say "it's a monad" then people who have encountered the term before know what I mean (even if they've had no need to understand monads in depth) and people who have not will successfully find information about the right thing if they search for it. Monads have a particularly bad reputation for being hard to learn, despite appearing in non-general form in every modern language. Since people seem to have little trouble grasping the way in which futures, streams, and options work I don't think there's really such a great challenge involved - but the culture of running screaming from the mere word doesn't help matters in the least.
