Just because you don't have any other command that starts with `calc'.
The command you execute is M-x calculator (the "ulator" part is filled by
Emacs for you because there's no other choice in your case).
Emacs-CVS comes with a new package that adds a command M-x calc which is
another (much more sohisticated) calculator and this one uses RPN
by default.
