The idea behind the short name is readability and simplicity. The recommended way to set up a zpool is to use partitions using device labels that allow you to identify devices in the chassis. Adding the full device name would add a lot of unnecessary clutter in the UI.
I kind of support the idea for a machine-readable flag but it might be better a improve zdb rather than the zpool command.
