There is an analogy in the freight car business.
Until the introduction of roller bearings, I believe in the late 30's or early 40's, freight car axles were supported by bronze journal bearings.
The roller bearing manufacturers were successful in referring to their competition as a friction bearing and the name stuck. Over time it became bearings and friction bearings.
I believe the same thing has happened here.
