The underlying issue isn't the name, it's the mismatch between marketing claims, actual performance, and what it lets you "get away" with. They released a system that will engage on almost any road and provides a firm steering force that will steer without driver interaction. Unlike some competing systems, they did not include dedicated hardware for monitoring driver attention, or restrict operation to separated highways. Ever since, they have been trying to layer on increasingly annoying nags to jiggle the wheel, or use the low res interior camera to try to determine driver attention, to try to work backwards from the fact that they didn't provide for proper driver monitoring to begin with or build a system that discourages zoning out.
