At least it is not counter-intuitive, like calling the DLR
"underground",

It isn't called the Underground any more than the Overground is. But
it's not really much worse than the U3 "Hochbahn" in Hamburg, which is
not very "U" for much of its length (though to be fair a good chunk
is).

There is probably more elevated than tunnel on the New York Subway.
