With all the options, it's too bad the authors had to choose the name of a popular emacs mode.

Just makes it harder to find either.

To be fair, "babel" isn't really a unique emacs term. It had a meanings outside of emacs, and a movie... and multiple albums... and a book... and the open babel chemical project... and the python internationalization library...

Maybe it was confusing already?

It really isn't an issue as long as there is only one package manager named Babel. If you can't find Babel by Googling "babel" then search for "babel package manager" instead, you will likely be doing that anyway.
And a LaTeX package.
