It enables lots of extra fluff. E.g., it popups up a docstring in the mini-buffer using eldoc, it highlights broke code using flymake, enables completion using company-mode if that is used, etc -- that is quite a bit more than just a simple client interface. If all it did was act like a client, then the name would have been obvious (start-lsp-server), but since it does many many more things ... eglot is actually a plenty fine name.
