While those names come from the way they are named in the code, changing the naming in the code would not solve the problem. The problem is a social one, not a technical one.
Even if those fields were renamed, many people would continue to refer to them as scriptPubKey and scriptSig simply due to habits. There would additionally be a lot of old documentation, discussions, forum posts, emails, etc. that cannot be changed which refer to those fields as scriptPubKey and scriptSig. Inevitably newcomers will come across this terminology even if everyone were to start using new terminology.
The best that we can do is to start using new terminology wherever possible. For example, I try to use input and output script in all of my writing rather than scriptPubKey and scriptSig. They do not need to be renamed in the code in order to be referred to using different words.
