Actually, it isn't.

It is a technical one. They made the decision that a "parked" message in
the outbox is not sent. I can see the logic behind it. Sending it requires
it to, at the end, be *moved* to the sent folder. Moving parked messages is
forbidden, that is the whole idea behind parking them. So if you can't move
it, you can't send it, therefore it stays until unparked. That, of course,
describes the behavior of a "draft" perfectly. Slap a new icon on it, call it
a different name, keep the data structure the same.
So it isn't aesthetic, it is technical in that they need to program in
behavior for drafts for the draft folder instead of parked. They clearly
changed the icon and the name, they can use the same logic checks to change
the behavior to something more befitting of a draft. :)
