Why? (Honest question, hear me out)

Is it a vocab consistency thing?

I see pretty consistent vocab used across orgs anyway, so given there is shardd domain knowledge / language at play, im not sure what the goal for standardization is?

Don't take this the wrong way, I use a lot of these when appropriate, but I don't think I could agree that refactoring must be just a refactor, and I don't think I want to limit anyone's commits to this list of change types either.

Forcing changes into these words means a lot of stuff is pointlessly bucketed when more appropriate wording could be used.

Say I want to push a commit "prioritise shipping route a over route b".

So I have to put it under start? Optimise? Fix? Why? Prioritise is the right word, why not just use that? Why play mind games when we have a whole dictionary to draw from?
