because hollywood the hegemonic default? but we don't say "j-anime" it's just japanese by default. even within english media we always specified "bbc documentary" or british comedy because there are stylistic trends common to the ones that made it across the pond before internet video and differentiated them from seppo media.
I have distinct memories of boomers calling it "japanime" lol.
it was japanimation for a little while but that died out in favor of the shorter one. nobody besides someone's out of touch mom has used that term in over 20 years
