That is contradictory:

"End users really don't need to know about it... a lot of stuff it can do isn't available yet in the traditional GIMP UI"

So why "don't they need to know about it?" And regardless, putting a meaningless label on it is a user-hostile blunder. This blunder is not all that uncommon either. Affinity did it by burying a bunch of stuff under a menu item called "Studio." Not as bad as "GEGL", but still meaningless.

I think you maybe didn't see the "yet" in there. This is software written by unpaid volunteers. There is no user-hostility, only a lack of time and help at implementing things.
No, I saw the "yet." I don't see how it excuses a meaningless menu entry instead of a descriptive one.
