Notice how there isn't a single submission about the Elm email client. I think I'm dead-on with my signaling hypothesis.

It died 12 years ago.

Sure, but I used Elm for email for probably close to 15 years. It, and Pine, were pretty much the only two dedicated email clients for as long as I can remember. I don't have a problem with people repurposing the name, just be somewhat sympathetic that not everyone is going to know about your web framework. Onboarding is a thing.
Yep, I wasn't so clear with what I'd posted, but I agree
