That's not the point. The point is to have a description the user understands, 
even though it might not be 100% accurate or complete. Akonadi stores data, so 
it's a storage, that's a word people understand, service as well, layer/API 
not. And adding to that description the trademark name in order to have a 
unique keyword that is connected to the simplified description, in case 
uniqueness, e.g. for google searches or bug reports is needed.
