Methodman, this question comes up every few years. You can't just use someone's name on a commercial product without their permission meaning paying them for it. If PG has to do that then the overall cost of the program goes up. A lot. Think about it. Thousands of styles based on real songs. You want every style to be correctly identified as to who originally did the song it's based on? Tens of thousands of dollars and then they probably can't get permission for some of them. The agent or manager says no, she simply doesn't sell her name to anybody so forget about it. If they're dead then you're dealing with their estates.

It's the same thing with patch names on my various keyboards. The patches are based on famous players. I have a killer clav called Superlicious. Guess which song I might use that on? Another one is called SteviesRhodes. Gee, which Stevie are they referring to? Stevie Wonder maybe? There's a Wurlie one called LA Girl. A good guess might be the Wurlitzer electric piano sound on the Doors LA Woman. For organs I've got Jimmy's B and Joey's B. That's Jimmy Smith and Joey Defrancesco's respective sounds on organ. Another keyboard simply calls them Jazz organ 1, 2, 3, etc. That's the way it is in the music biz regarding copyrights and/or the use of someones name.
