Maybe it is part of a bigger language question. The Torah's "Pesach"
is the 14th of Nissan; the next 7 days is "Chag haMatzos".

Chazal shifted the wording because our name for yamim tovim reflect what
He did for us, whereas the Torah calls it by a name that reflects what
of the YT is about us doing for Him.

And then, when P)esach no longer refers to the time when the qorban
is brought... perhaps that's why they felt it needed more explicit
disambiguation.
