VC15 or VS2017?

Wouldn't it be that Microsoft gradually drops the VC-numbering? We are
calling Visual Studio 2017 VC15, but what is the ground for that?

Even the redistributables do not call themselves VC15. See
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
Bottom > Open 'Other Tools and Frameworks' > Lowest download.

When installing the VS 2017 redistributable, it announces it self as
'Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) - 14.10.25017'.

Should we drop 'VC15' in favour of 'VS2017'?
