To many people involved in browser development there is a distinction between the "browser" (Chrome and Firefox, but also Opera, Brave, Arc that don't develop their own engine) and the "web engine" (Blink, WebKit, Gecko).
Servo is currently more of the latter than the former as it's UI is a pretty minimal one that is mostly useful for testing and doesn't much of the niceties that users expect of a modern browser (bookmarks, history, password manager, etc).
I do agree that it's confusing for most people though.
