The two terms are synonymous.  I searched for the idea closest to 'lower-frame' 
on the web and used 'bury-frame' in this feature request for the reason that 
`bury' is what is done to move a buffer to the `bottom' of a 'listing of 
buffers'.

Use case: I am editing within an Emacs frame.  I context switch to another app 
and want to lower (or bury) the Emacs frame with a quick keyboard shortcut.  
After completing the task at the other app which has taken my hand to the mouse 
I want to continue on that lowered Emacs frame by clicking on that.  To bury 
the frame completely without any part of it showing for mouse clicking to raise 
is a corner case I may not want all of the time.
