[Podman] terminology: why "podman container runlabel", not "podman image runlabel"?

more pedantic nitpickery, but i'm a stickler for terminology and i've always defined "image" (or "container image") as, well, something that *can* be run, and "container" as an image in the process of execution. so "podman container runlabel" seems awkward as it clearly(?) refers to an image, not a container. am i overthinking this? rday
