I think multiplayer is a good name for a different reason. I think it’s a clear and accessible metaphor for how people will interact, i.e. by concurrently working toward a shared goal with a coherent shared state.

I don’t think it trivializes the goal or the work being done, it just distinguishes it from parallel non-coordinated use.

Also, players are not just for games; the Bard had some thoughts on that. ;)
