They called themselves the Roman Empire, from what I understand.
It would be really confusing if we called them the Roman Empire though. Exonyms are a thing for a reason.

Why would it be the Eastern Roman Empire when it didn't even include Rome?

Rome wasn’t even A capital of the late Western Roman Empire.
Yeah, I think they had Ravenna as the capital.
