Assuming a language like Java: It's possible that the app name is included in the name of packages, so referencing packages other than the current one would need the app name. See the constant pool.

But that falls into the "bad programmer" someone else mentioned. Developers should have internal code names that are independent of marketing stuff like the name of the app.
