Java interface methods do have globally unique* names when fully qualified, but nobody types the full thing out because namespacing is good. It is neither expected nor even desirable for readers or authors to keep resolutions of interface implementations in their heads - that would defeat the purpose of interfaces.

* jar-hell (and dll-hell) aside

There is a difference between interfaces and abstract interfaces. It is very helpful to know if all calls to the same function/method resolve to the same implementation. Method syntax always suggests that their could be arbitrarily many implementations.
