Well, yes, the genre's name is a misnomer, and scare many games
belonging to it are even only tactical in the broadest sense of the
term. If I had to guess, I'd say the term evolved out of the simple
need to differentiate between the traditional turn-based games, thus
the reason why it isn't perhaps the most accurate reflection of the
content. But eh, it's all nitpickping in the end, and if you'd start
labelling things now as Real Time Tactical games you'd only confuse
people as that's usually the term for the  "real time, but without any
economy" -niché of RTS games  - Stuff like Myth and Ground Control,
for example ;-P
