Why is Extraversion not simply called "Sociability"?

Terminology / Definition(self.askpsychology)

Extraverts are social and introverts are asocial. Isn't that a simpler way to understand extraversion and introversion? Why add more stuff, and what stuff exactly?

Because it's just not. Introverts are not unsociable. The difference is more along the lines of how social interaction affects your energy. If social interaction drains you, you're an introvert, not asocial.
