Saxon is following a tradition established by JAXP interfaces such as SAXParserFactory and TransformerFactory.

In fact these configuration properties can be set on interfaces such as TransformerFactory and XQDataSource that are not Saxon-specific, so it is useful to have names that are clearly in the Saxon namespace and cannot be confused with properties defined by someone else for a different implementation.
