Applications were considered "commands" too. I doubt many used it to run "ls -l". Now with the dash-search unifying all - searching, launching, discovering, why would it be more confusing to combine "commands" launch as well? Apps launch are subset of commands launch anyways.
Right now, when I want to launch gedit - I debate for a split second what to use - dash-search or alt-f2. And because I know only the famous alt-f2 short-cut to launch, I end up activating it anyways all the time, often repenting that I should have clicked dash-search instead. That, IMHO, is confusing.
