I thought about that, but I think the only one that doesn't actually materialize a Module in memory is llvm-bcanalyzer. So in some sense they are all about more than just bitcode. Also, colloquially, "bc file" is often used when IR is meant ("can you send me a bc file of that so I can debug the issue?"; often, textual IR would be fine in those contexts), so I don't think it's that confusing. I agree it's slightly confusing though.
