Nope, maybe you would find that "much clearer", but it would go against what it is most largely accepted as standard terminology regarding aspect ratios and video screen transfer, and thus it would lead to confusion.
4:3 is non-anamorphic indeed, as oppossed to 16:9, both terms referring to video transfer.
1.33:1 would be used for aspect ratio.
In fact, video framed in 1.33:1 can be transferred as 16:9 (pillar boxing).
So 16:9 is the standard denomination for anamorphic video, and 4:3 the standard denomination for non-anamorphic video, whatever the aspect ratio may be.
