If you mean Windows 8.1 is not a service pack because it includes new/revamped features, not just patches and bug fixes, my memory is XP and other versions of Windows have done the same thing in the past through service updates.
I think the naming scheme for Windows 8 was to mirror the naming scheme for Windows Phone. X is a new release, X.x is a major update to x, but not a new release. Does that make more sense?
