If having different names of tools is such a big problem, why wasn't this addressed by now in Linux itself?

With my maintainer hat on: part of the duty of a maintainer is to
solve issues in the right place. Sometimes is downstreams, in
distributions, and sometimes is directly in the distro.

For this case, as you have seen in other replies, update-alternatives
is just not the right place. And we distribution maintainers have been
trying to solve it at the right place: here, in upstream's code. For
more than a decade now.
