web3.js is the name of the Ethereum API since 2017.

It didnt become a marketing term until last year. At least, in public perception.

And the way "web3" is used by marketers today is disconnected from ethereum's api

It won't stay long. `web` marks a generally available, free stuff, which ETH isn't. Let's just stick with `crypto`, it suits better.
