I understand sockets and I understand how X works, and I think it's confusing and stupid. It places unnecessary emphasis on an implementation detail that is unimportant to the end user.

Then say "app" or "program" instead of "x client" and nobody is harmed ... If people say "x client" it's usually in a more architectural, less colloquial context to begin with.
