Calling it a Mustang I think serves two purposes, (1) it eases into the future when the Mustang coupe switches to BEV, and (2) as with the new Bronco, Ford is "franchising" the Mustang name into a "family" of vehicles with different body styles, much like BMW does with the 3-Series, 5-Series, X-series, Z-series, etc. for the past 40 years or so.
The Mustang arrived as a personal sports coupe based off the 4-door Falcon and was known as a "Secretary's car" when it debuted in 1964. So why not use the Mustang name to generate attention to Ford's new and first dedicated BEV platform.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
