The reason for calling your tube a valve is because it has a current
controlling effect. As in a water valve also controls the flow of
water.
In the case of a CRT the control aspect no longer applies to some
load part of the circuit so I can understand why it wouldn't be
called a valve. Also we'd have to have a different acronym which
would be a bit silly.

Nothing wrong with CRV. It's a valve like most any other.
Yep, a CRT just controls current to a plate, but a plate on the other end
of the glass.
