That's a point, it wouldn't be great.
But, is having two having the same name, but with different icon in a
hypothetical scenario worth the tradeoff of users not knowing what the app does
(I've let a few non digital-natives try plasma to get their point of view and
this was one thing they noticed).

Yes, the app description says that it's a file manager, but the description is
way smaller than the title and way easier to overlook and my mom for example
didn't notice them.
So yes, they are (in what I found out) not enough.

They also told me that some apps need better defaults to be usable (e.g.
Kontakt and KDE's mail app is really not user friendly using the default
settings and overwhelming, as well as all customizablility options directly
visible in the settings app with confusing categories not always holding what
they expected)
