Czech speaker here. When stating a plural in the nominative form, counts of 2-4 items always use the nominative plural and counts of 5+ items use the genitive plural. This concept is understood by Czech speakers natively and doesn't have any description. "Few" is therefore just a descriptive name chosen by the Fluent developers, and probably covers other languages with a similar concept.

Few is languages specific, so the logic for it should live with the language. Another language might have a plural for 3-6 but you would then need another way to describe it. I've mentioned this in another comment, but I think a range would be better such as 2..4 or 3..6
