Thanks for the explanation. I’ve never heard of the play or the phrase, so I thought exactly the same thing as OP. Now the title makes more sense, though it does require insider knowledge.

I think the insider knowledge doesn't really help that much. In the play, he never shows up. So even with the knowledge of where the name comes from, a valid interpretation would be that people waiting for Godot to be ready are wasting their time and should go do something else.
