I was listening to an audiobook on YouTube when I was hiking that explained that what we call the Cananites today is actually their enemies. It's inverted.
I can't remember the name of the book, but hopefully my comment will jog someone else's memory.

It's possible that it could be like Rome and the "barbarians" who were less barbarous than the Romans.
I didn't know that Phoenicians were just the Greek name for the Canaanites, and the Phoenicians have a pretty sordid history.
