It is true that we separate keys, and not secrets, but the change to the update label is a more pragmatic one.  You don't want to have a situation where TLS key updates and QUIC key updates end up mixed.  Yes, you can't trigger TLS key updates in QUIC, but how else would you get the TLS secrets to roll over.

Mostly, that change was to ensure that the process for updating secrets was documented.  When reading the current drafts, I challenge you to find where it says what to do.
