Seems like a stretch. I don't see a problem with reusing good terminology. It's not like it's trademarked.

I can see "bottles" becoming the generic term, it makes more sense than "prefixes".

This. Bottles are preconfigured packages of programs on Wine, while prefixes are just Wine sub-environments.
