They had to come up with a name for a slider and called it range. This is the wrong name for it. A range slider should have 2 dots: One for the minimum and one for the maximum value. (Most common is searching by price in a web shop)
It means that if they ever want to introduce a real range selector it will have to get a different name.
It also means that if you search google for a range selector you are no longer able to find any of them. If a native one is ever introduced you wont be able to find it searching for range selector.
Also quite silly is that if you need both in your form you cant use this build in one as it will look different from your custom creation.
And it makes it harder to reason about forms. In the previous sentence I wanted to write "...need both a slider and a range selector" but that seems inaccurate/confusing.
