Why does Davis use the field "host.name" and not "entity.name"

Hello,

 

Is this just an inconsistancy?

dt.entity.problem:

dt.entity.host

As and addon and very nice to know: from the Global Field Reference

https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/discover-dynatrace/references/semantic-dictionary/fields

All entities have an entity.name field. The following fields will be considered in order to determine the value: entity.customized_nameentity.conditional_nameentity.detected_name.

The host name as determined on the data source (for instance, OneAgent, extensions or OpenTelemetry).
Important: This is not the name of the host entity, which can be modified based on naming rules.
