Hardware manufacturers seem to refer to these chips most often with
terms like:
USB Bus Interface IC
USB Bus Peripheral Controller
etc. And we already are using "device" for too many other things; USB
Device, linux device drivers, USB Device descriptors, etc.
You would also end up describing them as Linux USB Device device drivers
which is starting to get silly :-)
So all things being equal, bus was shorter than peripheral, in common
use, and seemed to allow us to consider them as separate entities.
