Consensus can be illogical. There are many cases where application of both background linear-gradient and background-image would be useful; there are none where background-color and linear-gradient would need to apply simultaneously. Logically, then, linear-gradient is more akin to color than image. Equating gradient with image lessens its usefulness.
