Then they really should think about changing their name, seeing as actix the broader low-level framework is supposed to be all about Actors.

A name change would have been ideal, but the library was already mature and widely used that it was decided a name change was not worth it.

Actix the actor framework is essentially dead at this point, I expect eventually it'll be the other way around: "you should change the name of your actor framework, it's confusing given the name of the web framework"
