The name doesn't bother me so far, but I have seen that comment again and again.

In Bruce Lawson’s personal site : Installable web apps and interoperability
At
http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/2011/installable-web-apps-and-interoperability/
Installable apps (in W3C parlance, Widgets – which
is a terrible name) allow authors to write apps
using HTML(5), CSS, JavaScript, SVG etc, and
package them up into a glorified Zip file with
some configuration details which can then be
installed on a computer.
It seems that "extensions" or "addons" would be more cognitively connected with
Web developers.
y'know, so terrible is the W3C “Widgets” name
that I didn't even think it referred to the
same thing as Chrome’s apps, et al.
