They did that so that scripts which run "cdrecord" or "mkisofs" continued to work, which I'm pretty sure is allowed under trademark law (trademarks don't apply to functional elements - if it wasn't for this, Oracle and Microsoft could kill off any third-party reimplementation of Java or many Windows APIs quite easily). If you run "cdrecord --version" it tells you that it's actually Wodim.
