No. It's for the purposes I outlined above: to distinguish them from other users everywhere on the wiki to maximize chances of other users identifying them as staff, so that they can reach out for help or appeal to chat blocks etc. I always end up missing the chat mod names in the recent changes, edit histories, talk pages etc, because the white name blends in with the regular white text that's everywhere on the wiki.
