How does this software relate to the popular email inbox management method of the same name?

Mann holds a trademark on “Inbox Zero”. He’s likely involved in some way.

I highly doubt he’s involved with this, and he would probably be pretty annoyed with the name being used.

My understanding is that he’s grown to be a bit resentful of how the term has been carried away and used, and he cringes/dislikes software that “misuse” the term.

He isn't involved. Or hold the trademark.

It's used in the sense that you want to better manage your email and clear the noise.

But ultimately the purpose of the tool is to make you more effective at email. Spend less time organising and getting spammed.
