I'm talking about WebXR, which is for some reason the name of the standard developed by W3C.

"As such it may seem like WebXR and OpenXR have a relationship like WebGL and OpenGL, where the web API is a near 1:1 mapping of the native API. This is not the case with WebXR and OpenXR, as they are distinct APIs being developed by different standards bodies."

There are many other browser APIs named "WebSomething". WebAudio, WebUSB, WebBluetooth. This is a really silly complaint to have.

The complaint wasn't about the web prefix, it's the ambiguity of the name.
