That is an argument that supports keeping the current name, but not directly a counter-argument against changing it.
I'd say that if a package advertises managed mode (using the Tor managed PT envvar/stdio protocol) as its primary usage, then it clearly thinks of itself primarily as a Tor PT, and so it's a good candidate for being named tor-pt-*. (obfsproxy does this.)
