Deep learning also messed up the definition of tensor, and so they are the ones who should be careful with picking names.

(That you can represent a tensor by a multidimensional array does not mean that a tensor is a multidimensional array).

It doesn’t look that messed up to me. The vector word is used both as an element of a vector space and the coordinates. Tensor was so far mostly used only for the multilinear relationship, but its numerical description is a natural extension of the vector word.

Making one oversimplification means you need to be very particular? The point stands that some people that look at this tool will likely expect something very different than what it is. If this tool gets enough prominence, it won't be a problem. If it doesn't, it will be a misleadingly named software stack. Worse things have definitely happened.
