Because that's the name users have heard. That's quite simple.
It is just like apple being "the" fruit. Bash is popular; they know it.
When facing broken shell, they revert to the only sane alternative they
know of, which is bash. If they were offered zsh rather than csh by
default, I don't think that the problem have ever arised.

I hope I don't need to explain that there're many IT professionals
who are not interested in learning all quirks of shell programming,
especially such weird beasts like csh.
