The difference is that "DBI" is a branded-type name, in that it didn't have any meaning as a "word" until the DBI module were created, so it's reasonable that it takes a namespace to itself. Whereas "template" is an ordinary generic English word which is useful to many modules, so it isn't as reasonable for one particular templating module to snaffle that entire top-level namespace from everybody else.
