It has been dismissed for semantic reasons... people just gloss over it.
"Seq" is a term that is used in formal specification in CS that usually means sequence-of-values-with-type(X). Sequence-of-ints, sequence-of-chars…
In general usage, "sequence" usually implies a series of values where distance/order is important for interpretation: DNA-sequence, Fibonacci-sequence, instruction-sequence, animation-sequence, sequences in music scores (time series in general), the output of generators (recurrence relations etc), etc.
