Names are important, too. There are 32-bit instruction sets that are
not x86 (like ARM), and there are 64-bit ones that are not x86_64 (like
Itanium).

Names are important, they just need to be got right. `Intel' is the
right name for the company, but not the right name for any of its
instruction sets or architectures. In the past it was wrong but
unambiguous, now it's wrong and ambiguous.
