> .NET is still called COM+ in .NET's source code

There was mostly no reason to cause unnecessary code churn to rename pre-existing code with complus-named variables inside dotnet/runtime. External-facing features and documentation never reference it. For compatibility reasons it still recognizes env. variables prefixed with COMPlus_ alongside DOTNET_ though.

In a similar vein, NativeAOT code still prominently references project RedHawk (these are slowly being renamed).
