It provides LSP client services to several Emacs features, yes. Having a client without this glue would be much less useful, because it would mean we'd need to develop that ourselves. Right, my point was mearly that eglot isn't _just_ a client -- so whatever name is derived from that wouldn't be a good fit, since it does much more as well.
