I do not have an explanation. Could it be that the nominators felt that
capabilities have not had significant impact, and so use of that term
might not be supportive?

My work on Multics consisted of advocating the segment/paging implementation,
which was turned into the GE 645 hardware by Ted Glaser and John Couleur.
The nominators also used "data flow programming paradigm" instead of
"data flow
model of computation", which would have been more accurate.
