When I designed the feature, I'd planned to be able to put most kinds of statement inside or outside the CTE, not just DML writes. You can imagine cases for DCL (GRANT/REVOKE based on a catalog query) or DDL (partition management), and I did. We could call them, "Expanded CTEs," but that only freezes the prior norm making them read-only, so I think "Writeable CTEs" captures it pretty well.
