It seems to have been decided that applications which are "default" do
not use their names in the menus, whereas applications where are not,
use them. I filed a bug yesterday which was closed because of that.

I can't see any reason for this, and indeed I really think it's a bad
idea, but still that appears to be the position. It also has the added
drawback that if distributions change the default software for something
(e.g. use firefox rather than epiphany), then either they have to patch
the documentation too, or just accept that the documentation will be
confusing.
