Same reason you don't hear "Central American vortex" instead of a polar vortex. It's a feature that develops often anytime of the year. Really the SER is a partner of the Bermuda high, if it's not the same entity altogether. We do have a western ridge though at times, but it seems to not have shown up in awhile.
