Comment:

 While some users may have gotten used to the fact that the items name is
 populated by the filename, others will have gotten used to (and rely upon)
 the ability to name their media items prior to uploading using tools which
 alter the EXIF/IPTC data.

 Specifically, WordPress uses the Image Title / Description IPTC & EXIF
 fields, it's been the case for 7+ years.

 #5162, #22768 may be of interest.

 Unfortunately while there are some cases where a user may set data that
 they're not intentionally expecting to show up as the title, the data is
 embedded in the image and viewable by everyone, I'd rather keep the
 functionality as-is. A plugin could quite possibly be used to disable that
 functionality if you wished.
