So then why don't they just call it a savings account and a checking account? Wallet is an implementation detail at this point that the average user shouldn't have to learn when there's already a word in their vocabulary.

also differentiating between the products/services traditional finance uses and the bitcoin ecosystem offers is a good idea.

the average user might have to learn a few extra words to understand bitcoin, "bitcoin" being one of them.
