Personally I never had that feeling, but I agree it was perhaps an unfortunate choice of terminology that a User Experience consultant might have fixed. But that ship has long sailed.
The Mobile App is a relatively distinct piece of the system, can perhaps be used rarely, and yet people need a way to visualize the growing complexity of their home, devices, and SmartApps.
If I were to wildly speculate, I would not be surprised to see a complete overhaul of the Mobile App (+ an html app) just because UI overhauls are rather common (Skype, PayPal, Google mobile apps,…) and can be done independently of back end architecture changes.
