It was intended more to be something acceptable to all parties. But I think it has some advantages. It avoids having an historical debate about the old DAML terminology, it involves fewer terminological changes from OWL, it doesn't extend the user vocabulary much (and where it does, it corresponds to a mental distinction that people are going to have to make in any case, whatever happens) and it is slightly more elegant, if I do say so myself.
