Default Kempo name controversy

Hi there,

I see this particular forum is practically deserted, apart from bot messages.
So let me ask a question then...
As far as I have been told Kempo is not much more than the japanese word for Chuan Fa, which means Martial Arts.

So why is this name so occupied and possessed by specialised styles, even deriving from the US "Kenpo"?
Shouldn't it be used in a more general context, just like Wushu, which essentially means the same?

Just a thought...
