I mean you can rebrand an app, just not the package name. And users won’t see that. So they could rename it Thunderbird even though the package name would stay “com.fsck.k9”. It’s not at all uncommon.
Though I’m sure they have their reasons for not doing that.
Unfortunate, all the new users I know would prefer TB branding, or at least a toggle button in the Settings. The icon and name throw them off since they are already Desktop users.

They also don’t want to upset people who prefer the K-9 branding among other things.
That seems to be the answer as I’ve understood it
