Because people are used to those names due to their wide use. It's the

I disagree strongly with this. I remember function names phonetically
in my head. I don't want to have to remember which language it came
from in order to know what the casing should be. And these function
names aren't nearly standardized as a qwerty keyboard. And besides, D
makes much more radical departures from languages in other areas (which
is usually a good thing).
Php is already ridiculed for its library having no internal consistency.
I don't want the same thing to happen to phobos.
