Different order of lookup for taxonomy and terms template, why?

from Hugo's Lookup Order | Hugo

Layout Lookup for Taxonomy Pages

layouts/_default/category.terms.html
layouts/_default/terms.html
layouts/_default/taxonomy.html
layouts/_default/list.html

Layout Lookup for Term Pages

layouts/_default/term.html
layouts/_default/category.html
layouts/_default/taxonomy.html
layouts/_default/list.html

In taxonomy layout, category.terms.html is before general terms.html but in term layout, term.html is before category.html. Why is that?

This design decision was made by the creators of Hugo, a long time ago (more than 6 years ago).

Also note that the Template Lookup Order is a fundamental concept and I cannot see it being up for discussion at this point, because if there was a change it would break plenty of existing projects.
