The two terms are synonymous. I searched for the idea closest to 'lower-frame' on the web and used 'bury-frame' in this feature request for the reason that `bury' is what is done to move a buffer to the `bottom' of a 'listing of buffers'.
Use case: I am editing within an Emacs frame. I context switch to another app and want to lower (or bury) the Emacs frame with a quick keyboard shortcut. After completing the task at the other app which has taken my hand to the mouse I want to continue on that lowered Emacs frame by clicking on that. To bury the frame completely without any part of it showing for mouse clicking to raise is a corner case I may not want all of the time.
