What's even stranger is that "OK Google" is the hotword for the Chrome Voice search thing they recently launched at IO.

Retconning "Google Now" into a voice assistant is weird because at IO they were saying how they wanted Google itself be the assistant, by modelling it after the Star Trek computer.

Also what happens when the actual, predictive Google Now comes out for Chrome?

Betcha it's something inherent to the ability to process the phrase "Google." Probably a usability thing, and a subtle one at that.
