Fedora adds prefix bpf- to the tool names, mainly to distinguish them from the old tools written in Python. Alpine Linux is going to do the same, but for a slightly different reason - there are dozens of these tools, so it's a good idea to add them a common prefix, to make it easier to recognize them among all other commands.
