Why?
Because it is a single entity(through abstraction). And because it is a single entity and you use it a lot, it gets connected to many other concepts.
And because you've solved problems with it,it has more emotional value.
This means you can more easily retrieve it and it has more "meaning"/context to you.
list.length gets used less often and it just a concrete implementation of the concept so maybe it's just linked to the concept.
And it's also more complex to remember and use because it's made of 10 items.
