Maybe it's because you can only select one element per group, like you can only tune to one frequency on a radio? :?:
I remember reading an explanation for this somewhere...
its because on old-school radios, you could only have one button pressed at a time. whenever you pressed a button, the button that was previously pressed would pop back up.
In short, the name sticks around for hysterical reason.
