KDE Discover binary & library names

We are heading towards the Plasma Software Compilation :)

One benefit of using Plasma 'everywhere' is that people will start
seeing the name Plasma more often and maybe speed up the
KDE-as-in-desktop -> Plasma transition.

Yes, this is one of the definitions that I'm considering valid (with
the second one being 'plasma is only plasma shell and plasma
library').

The problem is that it is not easy to decide whether it fits - there
will always be at least one non-plasma user who uses an application
from our community (something like this was posted as an argument for
spectacle not being called something generic like plasma-screenshot or
similar). Objectively, how many non-plasma users use dolphin,
spectacle, ktp, etc.?

BTW, did anyone make an inquiry about whether the discover might be
useful to lxqt people?

Cheers,
Ivan
