Thinking about it twice, I realize that you are right. The meaning of rit is closer to a metronome mark. It is just that I am used to a different tradition in piano scores where the 'rit' is printed between the two staves instead of above and bold. That lead me to think (unconsciously) that rit and metronome marks are fundamentally different. And I still think that there is some difference between 'rit' and 'Allegro'.
