Splitting this out from #61535
The editor has a 'List View' feature to show and navigate the hierarchy of blocks.
Some blocks do have a 'List view' setting to display their content in a list, as opposed to a 'Grid view'. See for example the Latest Posts, RSS, and Post Template bocks.
As such, the editor UI uses the terminology 'list view' for very different features. While this may not a big problem for sighted users, it is very confusing for blind users, users with cognitive impairments, low tech-savvy users etc.
Features in software should use unambiguous names to avoid any potential confusion.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions
- Add a Latest Posts, an RSS, and a Query Loop block (note: the Query Loop block contains a Post Template block).
- Observe all the three blocks do have two buttons in their block toolbar to set the block content to 'List view' or 'Grid view'.
- Observe the 'List view' name is used also for the List View in the Document Overview.

Additiobnally, the ambigous string may be confusing for translators as well. A few examples:
In Spanish it's 'Vista de lista' for both features:
In German it's 'Listenansicht' for both features:
In Italian it's 'Vista elenco' and 'Visualizzazione in modalità elenco':
