That's what I seem to recall too - when they went through an identity crisis and started trying to draw more folks to the park - getting rid of or toning down the EPCOT, future, community, science, and tech edge that made the place, and putting in more ride/kid/family-friendly stuff. ; Sad, as all the original theming was what made EPCOT my favorite park, and what still draws me to the place now, even if I have to hunt down some of the original, educational, scientific, world and travel stuff among all the kid games, music, and entertainment stuff.
If they left it EPCOT, it would be a reminder of Walt's vision that his successors never bothered to follow thru with. If it's Epcot, it's just another theme park. Erich
