I don't understand why a 3D geometry model would best be called simply "model" in the context of HTML.

The term "model" is a pretty generic term that's very relevant to HTML, already used heavily in Web frameworks, etc.

At least they could use a proper name instead of the generic "model", something like "object3d".

They could just use <object>.

It matches the MIME Type for that kind of thing.

Because "3dmodel" is not a valid identifier?
