Maybe there is no problem when the command name will contain the word
"clone", but its menu item will be like in web browsers:

        `(menu-item "Duplicate" (lambda () (interactive)
            (tab-bar-clone-tab

And wouldn't it be too error-prone when the name 'tab-bar-clone-tab'
will differ only by one letter from another name 'tab-bar-close-tab'?

'tab-duplicate' is bound to 'C-x t n' and not to 'C-x t c' because
'clone-buffer' is bound to 'C-x x n' and not 'C-x x c'.
