Ofcourse it doesn't really make any difference from a Developers perspective or it's players perspective whether the iPhone version is similar to the PC version, the name is something of importance to what is a relatively smaller group of people many of which in Classic's case have moved on from Graal, but in the event of the server being drastically different to the original (which I'm not really sure if it's the case with Era) that does beg the question of why even use the name?
The damage to the servers image may be insignificant, but it's still more significant than the advantage if iPhone players are coming onto the PC, and in similar fashion to players of the original server, becoming disappointed that it isn't the same as what they are used to, especially if it's mainly the sheer playercount rather than the content that attracted them to the iPhone server in the first place.

Definitely, I wish they would too, but like you say it would require
a real effort, the sad reality is that this could only possibly be achieved by the efforts of PC Graal's developers/players.
