The interpreter has never been doing things in any particular way.
That  is,  /LOCAL is just a refinement, like /ALL would, or /WITH,
etc.  Carl  just  decided,  as a convention, to use the refinement
named /LOCAL to define local words; so HELP is just following this
convention.  As  I said, it would make no harm to change HELP, but
I'm not really sure it would be worth it...
