Spymarks an application of steganography, not a different name for it.

That doesn't help with things like the typical use of SynthID where the spymarking is done by the same process generating the content, so there is never a clean comparator. (It also wouldn't be useful anytime it is inplemented as part of a transformation—compression, etc. —step, for the same reason.)

Additionally, verifying that your generator doesn't add such a mark is practically impossible for the majority.
