You're not alone. This was bikeshedded a while back, and I think the decision was that 8uint felt too verbose for what is a common thing, and that renaming uint to u was inappropriately short.
I think this topic isn't 100% closed yet, in particular renaming uint to something like uintptr or usize or something has been brought up. Github isn't loading for me right now, but I think there might have been an open RFC in this area.
