​That's because those distinctions are less important to ICANN than the
more domain-industry-friendly silos of

1) Domain producers (half of the GNSO)
2) Domain consumers (the other half of the GNSO)
3) Everyone else -- the technical, governmental and non-domain-buyer user
communities (advisory councils)

It's ICANN with the idiosyncratic segmentation, not the rest of the world.
​
Granted, the above broad groupings also have plenty of their own internal
diversities and there is some cross-pollination (as exists in the quartet).
But ICANN's silos have has suited the power brokers well.
