Federalism.

There are 50 states, plus some other jurisdictions. Each has a legislature and those folks choose the names for crimes. They don’t all choose the same thing because there is nobody to make them. I’m sure that if you cornered each legislator, they’d have some good reason for their choice. I might even be “That’s what other states call it.”, some of the time. But all of the time so it’s always the same, that’s not American.
