It's mostly a jargon thing to distinguish that they're using an academic term of art rather than just colloquial lay term.

Thanks! Some people consider jargon exclusionary, but really between two people in a field it is simply a way of saving time and removing ambiguity (as in this case).

So I don’t feel opressed by this jargon: it’s just extra domain-specific info that whooshed over my head.
