Pretty much.

Even more confusing is MS announcing that "Visual Studio is now on Mac!" but it isn't the same product, only works with .NET Core, and more or less is a skin of Xamarin apparently.

So three products, similar names, some shared features, but not really the same.

I'm trying to picture whether it would be confusing if Apple's xcode had these different flavors.

Yes it would. But Apple would never allow an XCode for Windows because Microsoft's dog got into their garden once and dug up the petunias. Since then, Apple is pretty adamant that every other member of the Home Owner's Association should go somewhere else. They don't even invite their neighbors to their cookouts anymore.
