That's true, but it's also intentional. The old launcher had the concept of "name is id", which required all names to be unique. We've split this off for new configurations, but moving IDs from the old launcher keeps them in the new one. We would break compatibility with 3rd party tools if we just changed IDs of stuff arbitrarily, I'm afraid
