I actually have the same gripe, unfortunately there is a long history of academic fields naming things like this (there’s an entire Wikipedia page on this banned after Gauss/“Gaussian” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_Car...)

Not really. There are many things named after Gauss but a "Gaussian" is almost always meant to be a probability distribution / density function that is very well understood and defined (and common)
