Because if you have several installed, they ALL show up as 'Terminal'
in the menu and you have no idea which one you are picking? 

I think there are legit reasons to have several installed. Perhaps you
use Xfce, but prefer gnome-terminal, or you want them both installed in
case one has a bug that prevents you from doing work?

Sounds like upstream might just rename Terminal to xfce4-terminal and
be done with it.
