No. Maybe a holdover from the days before bundles and bundle identifiers???

Well, I think so. App names can be localized, can be changed by the user, might even be changed by the publisher ("pro 3.0"), can be subject to conflict from dummies who put an app out without checking to see if the name is already used... But bundle identifiers in theory stay the same, and if specified properly are unique, and can always correspond to the app no matter what you or anyone else does to the app's name.
Too bad *APPLE* chooses to set such a sloppy example...
