I’m guessing it’s because they act like them
We could very well build an rs nor latch that *is* a “real” rs nor latch and it would have the exact same function, just bulkier

Strictly speaking, RS NOR latches are a subset of SR latches. However, RS NOR latches are so ubiquitous in real-life electronics that they’ve become synonymous (to the point where hardly anyone talks about SR latches).
Although we have a lot more options in building SR latches now, in the early days of Minecraft, it was again RS NOR latches which were all we could build (two torches connected in a loop).
