It's about clarity, not obsessive or even consistent consistency. Revert Buffer is clearer than Revert. Save Buffer is clearer than Save. Exit Emacs is clearer than Exit. Kill Buffer (or even Close Buffer) is clearer than Close.
For new users, it is clearer to use terms that they are familiar with in the menus, even if we think that the familiar term is oversimplifying things. We made this decision several versions ago, and going back to terms that only experienced emacs users understand would be a step backwards.
