Because it has better branding, and fewer syllables? You didn't have any trouble understanding what was meant, and I'd guess no one else reading the article did either.

What do you dislike about "retina"?

Edit: UHD is really ambiguous, it could refer to anything with the initials UHD.

UHD is unrelated to DPI right?
