Indeed they call for new names, as they encompass far more than iterators.
If you read a bit more about them, I think you will be surprised to see the breadth of what these abstractions can be used for. To start, they've been used to build a new compositional foundation for game theory[1], and they can be used to model gradient-based learning in machine learning[2].
As for their simpler applications as getters and setters, they are programmable in the sense that you can think of lens/prism types as interfaces that can be implemented arbitrarily. So you can create your own lenses and combine them like legos to construct new, "bigger" getters and setters from the smaller components.
