Should courtesy runner be renamed pinch-runner?

The MLB rules forbid the use of a courtesy runner in rule 3.04. The comment to that rule states "This rule is intended to eliminate the practice of using so-called courtesy runners." Instead it seems that MLB uses the term pinch-runnner to indicate a subsitution for a batter-runner who has safely reached base. Should the courtesy runner button on iSB be renamed to pinch-runner?
