It is definitely a silent t. They've just misread it.

I agree, it's really annoying.

They're being tactful. It's clearly a reference to Waiting for Godot. They even said so.

The name "Godot" was chosen in reference to Samuel Beckett's play Waiting for Godot, as it represents the never-ending wish of adding new features in the engine, which would get it closer to an exhaustive product, but never will.
