Zombies aren't cool anymore, so renaming is an attempt at making them interesting.
Mechs are cool af, but just calling them mechs makes it boring.
Zombies were being renamed at their peak. Look at the walking dead.
I think it's to show that the characters don't know what zombies are so when they have to learn the same tired tropes that most zombie mythos regurgitates it makes sense to the audience.
