Because a category is not the same as a tag.. Tags are used
descriptively, categories are often things like "Announcements",
things that aren't really tags. I am quite wary about using tags in
the wrong way... But there is no right answer, of course.

Hmmm... I've always considered them to be exactly the same thing. They're just labels you are labelling things with.
I didn't think it mattered whether you call them "tags" or "categories" or "keywords". They all really seem the same. (It's up to you in what kind of "meaning" you put behind them.)
The only difference I've seen with this type of stuff is whether the "creator" or the "users" tagged this stuff. (But, what we're talking about here is "creator" tagged stuff.)
See ya
