Why was SPOUSE removed and changed to Partner?

Spouse’s have marriage certificates with a lot of information on them. No use trying to find a marriage certificate if they were not legally married. Please keep both Spouse and Partner options.

This also happened when I imported a GEDCOM from Geni. Only people who had wedding dates or some other marriage info stayed spouses, otherwise everyone else became just partners which is strange.
