(Get the code!)
This is a side effect of a feature originally proposed by Klemen Zagar.
When looking at the threads of an IOC, all threads were reported under the main executable's name, so they could not be distinguished. Klemen proposed that EPICS sets the command name of each thread to its EPICS thread name.
Obviously, all executables being called "_main_" is an unwanted side effect for clients.
