Who takes people seriously who judge something by its name instead if it’s functions?

"Names don't matter" is obviously a silly stance. Pre-emptively dismissing people who disagree as "not serious" when you're taking a stance like this does not make an argument in favor of your stance.

Names are something that clearly matter to people, and that impacts anyone working with people.

If GIMP would create profit they could call it dogshit and the same people would visit the Shit-Con for business news

This is so painfully wrong it hurts; many a company has lived and/or died PURELY on name.
