That is a flaw in the MPMs themselves (overloading a term is evil I agree), but not in the MPM concept as a whole.
The fact we have MPMs at all gives us the power to develop something like the simple MPM alongside existing stable MPMs, without being forced to endure a period of instability where the server doesn't work at all.
It also allows us to support newer OS features on modern systems, without being forced to ignore those features because legacy platform X doesn't support it. Legacy platform X can carry on using prefork (or whatever).
