I am really puzzled that they chose a bad, unwieldy name and stuck to it for so many years. Perhaps they wanted to bank on the community aspect by highlighting the ".org" suffix. Remember that at the time many companies were trying to harness the power of the community by launching ".org" initiatives.

I don't really know, but you are offering nothing but conjecture either. Anything better than a "was probably just chosen" would be interesting!
