I think are are two reasons. One is, as you say, failing to really understand the FAA's difference. The other is confusing FAA rules with company practices.
To take it out of the Part 135 context for a moment, I know you've come across threads by UND private pilots saying that UND won't "allow" them to log PIC when receiving instruction. It's hard get past the idea that your school's (or your company's) rules are not the FAA's.
