People pay for software that's supposed to drive the car. Why does it matter how the passanger drives? Well, because the software is a student driver. It fucks up in weird ways. It needs close supervision by an expert driver.

Isn't that the promise of self-driving? To be passenger?

Tesla could have called it "supervised self-driving", and that would be fine with me. But "full self-driving" sounded like more value when they wanted to sell the feature. So they went with that.
