I've often thought this. I assumed there where technical reasons. However,
it does seem weird that, for instance, borgbackup is py-borgbackup, when
it's a command line program called borgbackup.

We don't have c-git, or sh-freebsd-snapshot or even with perl,
perl-get_iplayer!

Even with pyton, it's not coherent - yt-dlp is python, yet doesn't have
the py prefix.
