Because there's no anime material that has a proper title between the end of Naruto Shippuden and Boruto -Naruto Next Generations-, other than Naruto the Movie which doesn't say much about the series affiliation anyway, so the next logical step would be to consider manga materials Naruto Gaiden as a proper title for anime materials as well.
