For the most part, this is universally true today. Of all the devices I’ve seen that support both UPnP and Bonjour DNS-SD/mDNS, virtually have a single place in the web UI to set the name, which is then used for both discovery protocols.

I have seen a few some rare exceptions where they allow you to set two different names if you want, but I’ve never seen any case where the user didn’t set them both to the same thing.
