No, you are mistaken.  It is a common naming convention and nothing more.

All target names must be uniquely named.  This is a common way to
disambiguate executables and libraries that have the same root.  The
executable and library OUTPUT_NAME can be the same, you can use
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES to make them identical.  But the target names
must be unique.
