It's a very convenient abbreviation, especially since the syntax of
--frame-parameters requires quoting.

FWIW, XEmacs's gnuclient doesn't accept -geometry either, and the
reason it's not been done yet is as somebody explained earlier: it's
non-trivial to port the main program's code to handle it because that
code is set up to install it as the default for all future frames.
