Bug Description

Open nautilus, navigate to the root folder for example, press Alt+Tab, and notice the app is called "Home folder", as well as the launcher icon.
In the launcher, it can be understandable as a shortcut icon to the Home folder… but the app name should really something less confusing, like Nautilus, Files, Files explorer, Files and folders, or anything that is not misleading.
In fact, except maybe if launched from the launcher "Home folder" icon, it should use `nautilus.desktop` instead of `nautilus-home.desktop`.
And the app lens shouldn't display both "Home folder" and "Files" icons, as clicking "Files" opens the "Home folder" launcher icon anyway.
