Because "square of absolute value of wavefunction" is shorter and clearer than "product of wave function with complex conjugate", I'm guessing.
(Counting by words, syllables or letters gives that result; I also tried counting morae and ended up with the same count for both.)
True. But wouldn't your meaning be clear if you used the shorter term "wavefunction conjugate product"? Then again, maybe not.
