For Juniper, it's probably historical.

In Cisco-land, multi-rate ports take on the name of the faster speed, on
the boxes I've operated anyway.

So a 1Gbps optic in a 1/10Gbps port will still be named
"TenGigabitEthernet".

Doesn't really bother me, as we code the bandwidth in the description
anyway.
