ELI5: Why do some dried fruits (raisins, prunes, etc) have their own names while others (dried apples, dried mango, etc) do not?

Raisins, prunes, etc., are whole fruits that will preserve naturally if dried properly. They also date back to antiquity, along with dates, figs, etc., which don't have nicknames.

Apples, mangoes, etc., will not dry whole, but simply rot. They need to be portioned and dried rapidly, a task made all the easier by using a modern dehydrator.
