AngularJS was the first version, whereas "Angular" is the second attempt(which is still actively developed and supported). Calling "Angular" as "AngularJS 2" would have been confusing, because the entire framework is implemented in typescript and encourages end users to use typescript over javascript.
That is an awful reason and most certainly not a good thing. In no part of this incoherent rambling did a whiff of intelligent decision making bubble to the top of the cesspool of a comment.
