I agree that it likely doesn't deserve the "servo" moniker at this point: It looks like a servo, talks like a servo, but doesn't quack like one. Not sure what I would call it. "Motor with integrated control electronics" doesn't sound as sexy as "continuous rotation servo"

I tend to call them miniature speed controllable geared motors.
(At least the parallax ones are speed controllable, I have no idea about these ones)
