My understanding is that the original definition of "user option" was: an
option that an end-user (not familiar with Elisp) can change.
This happened to be limited to user-variable-p at the time for lack of
anything else but now also includes faces.
I don't think it's particularly confusing.

Indeed, it's a natural extension.

Why? It's not like we often need to talk about those particular variables
which are user-variable-p but are not defcustom'd, is it?
And IIRC the last discussion (where we decided that M-x set-variable should
be extended with the functionality of M-x customize-set-variable), we'd like
ultimately to get rid of the distinction between user-variable-p and
custom-izable variables.
