That’s the answer, the gnocchi pastas imitate the shape of the potato gnocchi.
I also wouldn’t really call potato gnocchi pastas, like if I invite people to eat and say I’m cooking pastas, nobody’s expecting potato gnocchi. But I think in Italy they’re in the same aisle as fresh pastas.
The thing is - and op’s picture is correct - that italians actually differenciate between different shapes of pasta, for the simple reason that pasta shapes have functional reasons and different shapes correspond to different dishes.

Yes, and it is also incorrect in that normal people call it spaghetti because that makes people discuss the shitpost and remember it fondly
