Because televised sports cater to the least knowledgeable fans in order to bring in and keep an audience.
The RPO is relatively new to the NFL particularly to any fans of teams that don’t regularly use it. I don’t remember hearing much about it at all before this past season. So they’re introducing a new concept and a new term to the audience.
Edit: This article from August confirms what I was saying. It introduced the RPO as the hot new play for the 2017 season. There were only 5 RPOs per game in 2016.
