What would speak against officially renaming the "node" binary to

Possibly even more searchable on e.g. Google.
Hear, hear.
How many widely-used meanings can the word “node” have in software
development? It’s a very generic name that requires context in order to
understand what it means, whereas “perl” and “php” are very clear, and,
at least in computing, “python” and “ruby” are almost as much so. (But
don’t get me started on the spidermonkey binary!)
“nodejs”++.
