At our company we don't think account is an elegant model. There are many different things called account in Solana. This is a presentation from our Spanish speaking team talking about Solana from a critical developer approach: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1icRB_oYx_eIF5ytYTb94...

The slide #6 talks about the different things called account. You can easily translate it if you don't speak Spanish.

Well, the accounting model is not about naming...It is about detecting dependent transactions very early so you can figure out how many can go into a block in parallel. Another one I like is the pricing model, a.k.a rent. You pay the rent, and your account survives in the chain. Once you are done, you stop paying rent, and the runtime sweeps your account under the carpet. (you can also create your account rent-exempt and get all the money back).
