Because it is not only a US-centric view of the Internet. Most governments (at least the German which I know best and most other Europeans) have started to make their own definitions about what they define as critical to their national infrastructure. And they are asking questions how these infrastructure is protected. But I tend to agree that it is maybe better if we find a more neutral wording.
