Because it is the committers that decide about it not some randomly chosen sub-group of what you call "people". Because it forces us to explain another (third) name after going away from JAX-RS (which is, BTW, still the most used and most asked name still when people contact me).
We should NOT rename the technical names. They are NOT too long. -1 for touching any of that, as it leads to further confusion.
We should simply concentrate on features, as THAT is what "people" actively ask for.

I'm also in favor of keeping the current spec name.
Almost all Jakarta specs are 2 words; Jakarta [single word]. People already abbreviate it to Jakarta REST as the full is just too long for people to remember or type all the time.
Why not make official what people already use?
Additionally, what about the names in the projects, CI, GitHub etc? At some point we should rename them. Eg ee4j.jaxrs. ee4j.restfull.web.services is a little long.
I actually cannot remember that we officially voted on that, and in fact my vote would be -1.

Is "Jakarta REST" supposed to be short for the full name "Jakarta RESTful Web Services"? Or will there be a push to rename to "Jakarta REST"?
There was a vote / interest gauge last year about using the name Jakarta REST as the official name. If it's okay, I'll start the push to officially have this renamed to Jakarta REST. It's indeed what most everyone has been using anyway.
+1
