I think it's pointless, mainly on an infrastructural level. Renaming the backend is just going to require a bunch of code changes, cause already rotting documentation to fall further behind, trigger a bunch of new translations and not really lead to anything better at the end of the day. Users coming from Windows are also familiar with the location called "Computer", so changing it could be disruptive to them. Then you have the trouble of figuring out what you want to call it (should it be "System" like KDE? "Devices" like Finder? "Disks" even though that's even more ambiguous? one of the other suggestions here?), and generating posts like this one with a dozen replies and zero consensus (namely because none of the names suggested are blatantly obviously better than "computer").
