Right - but you can't say "expected optimand maximiser". There is a loooong history of using the term "utility" in this context in economics. Think you have better terminology? Go for it - but so far, I don't see much of a case.
That would be the "other concept" (link edited to point to specific subsection of linked article) referred to in the grandparent.
