A project could of course have both if they wanted, the PTI doesn't
prohibit that. If tox provided a feature to alias testenv names then
it would be fairly trivial to maintain, though a testenv:pep8 can
still explicitly inherit each individual option from the
testenv:linters section (yes it is sort of ugly).

I personally have little concern for what we call it as long as we
keep consistent between projects, but changing this across every
project does seem like a bit of unwarranted additional work for
everyone.
