Compatibility with the old SWIG wrappers:

Originally, the SWIG wrappers consisted of a single module named
python_grass7. When it was split into multiple modules, the libgis
wrapper was named "grass", although I don't think that there was any
particular reason behind that.

If we're going to do it, it should be done sooner rather than later.
