Tragically most of those names have gone (e.g. https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/transform) - and in the case of Neo, have gone many times over: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/neo, https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/nio, https://matrix.org/docs/projects/sdk/matrix-nio, etc :D

that's no reason why it could not be again reused

Name collision in general is not good, but also in this specific case they've had issues being confused with the game company called Riot, so I can't imagine they would want to go with an already-used name again if they could help it.
