Nothing matters and anything can mean anything. We moved from truth, reason, facts and science to give kids awards for having opinions. And this is the result: People using the acronym DPS as if it was a role.
No name is the thing it refers to; it simply refers to it.

Yes, DD would be a more intuitive name for what that role does and the term would less get in the way of talking about damage-per-second as a cross-role metric, but we've clearly been able to work around its flaws just fine when using it as the signifier.
