Why does createReplica make a random name for 1 way replicas?

The interface tells you to name the replica, but ignores input. The random string for the names make it incredibly difficult to script automation.

Here is what I get with sync model=none:

FileGDB: C:\Downloads\cce93b7ebc4c47d18f656ae7ea613ce8\447be11bdf3c4a64b1c229caada76d6a.gdb

SQLITE: C:\Downloads\a021300b5c8f445eac500e01fe713e07.geodatabase

JSON: C:\Downloads\748a4e8ab624424ebeee38f14bbd1d95.json

The zip name is even different from the gdb!

The purpose of the replica name alludes me.What value does requiring a Replica Name provide? Additionally, what is the point of generating a random name for the file that has no sync model and you cannot search through the  replicafiles directory?
