That also invokes negative connotations of analog computing that occur because of it's problems in the old days.

On another note: There is also a sense of analog quantum computing when you use bosonic modes instead of qubits.

Calling bosonic modes analog (in the constext of computing) seems misleading. Most of the big proponents of bosonic modes (like my institution, Yale) use them to implement digital logic on top of them.

And the problems with analog computers is not just from the old days. Analog computers fundamentally can not scale because they do not permit error correction procedures.
