It's also a more accurate name in that horizontal resolution doesn't vary with a movie's aspect ratio.
... except for 4:3 aspect movies, of which there are plenty. (Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Eyes Wide Shut, etc.)
Not to mention most 20th century TV shows. Those all display at 1440x1080 on a high-def television. So 1080p is accurate in those cases, but 2k is not.
Seriously, the right way to describe a monitor's resolution is to include both numbers. Give me height and width. I can handle it.
