The answer to this / the reason for this is rooted in the DetNet 
architecture and the generalized term that detnet defines:

" When the logical separation of the Control, Measurement, and other 
Management entities is not relevant, the term "Controller Plane" is used 
for simplicity to represent them all, and the term "Controller Plane 
Function (CPF)" refers to any device operating in that plane, whether it 
is a Path Computation Element (PCE) [RFC4655 
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4655>], a Network Management 
Entity (NME), or a distributed control 
protocol.[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8655#name-the-controller-plane]"

And since this document covers both distributed (ref sec 3.1) and 
centralized control (ref sec 3.2) the DetNet term "Controller Plane" is 
most appropriate.

Does this help/make sense?
