The "wms" provider name indeed may be a bit misleading - it also supports WMTS and WMS-C in addition to WMS and XYZ. At the same time I do not see it as a big problem if it is documented how to use it with other protocols. If we wanted to switch to a more generic name for it, we should probably also harmonize the input URIs that historically expected just WMS GetCapabilities URL and only later extended to support other protocols...
