It probably wasn't a good choice for them to use the word "tethered" in the name.
It might not be incorrect, but tethered means you are connected to something. In this case, that something is the aircraft itself. Self is not the first thing most people are going to think of when they hear the word tethered. Especially since, as you point out, there are already aircraft that are tethered to the ground.
