This kind of thing tends to happen to historical terms. Groups that trace their lineage from group X call themselves X, especially if the name has positive associations. This happened with, to use a somewhat controversial example, the term "liberal" in the US but, curiously, not in Europe. In computing you could say that this happened, and continues to happen, with the term "hacker" ("growth hackers" are a recent example).
