It's not really surprising. The West has always seen USSR as a new reincarnation of the Russian colonial empire, and its nomenclature reflects that. Conversely, Soviet propaganda always focused on "internationalism" and "brotherhood of the nations" (on paper), and thus always made a clear distinction between the two.

Well to be brutally honest the West is just not that interested in the complicated history and ethnicity of that part of the world and just likes to simplify things.

Anything East of Berlin is "Eastern Europe" for instance.
