RCA probably developed several connectors. If one says "RCA"

Then show us another connector from RCA that became common

That's my point too! .... that the "RCA phono" connector was so
common that it could be called "RCA" almost unambiguously.
Do whatever you want, but some of us stick to proper names. I deal
with vendors who use the proper nomenclature when I need parts. I think
that if they don't know the proper name, they don't really know what
they are selling.
On the other hand, "RCA" probably wouldn't be the correct formal
name if there were other RCA connectors.
