The addKey method can be used for more than just providing a key. Specifically
it can be used for
- providing a key
- providing a license
- updating a license or other CDM session state

As a result the addKey name is confusing.

In general, the purpose of this method is to provide a message to the CDM that
updates the session state in some CDM-specific way. With the object-oriented
model, sessions are explicitly represented by session objects and addKey is a
method on that object. With that context we could rename the method to
something as simple as update() - it is a method on the session object so the
implication is that it updates the session somehow.
