I don't know.  These names were first devised almost 10 years ago,
well before I discovered LilyPond.  But one possibility is because one
often uses "key" and "key signature" interchangeably when talking
loosely, but one never hears "time" as an alternative to "time signature".

James likes to have issues raised for doc changes, but I doubt
there's any appetite for changing the names of such well-established
engravers.
