The motivation for the naming was probably that
vectors can only be built out of integer_vector_types.
(For example, you can't have a packed array of bytes.)

Subject: [sv-bc] integer atom and vector types
I'm looking at syntax 3-1 where it lists:
integer_atom_type ::= byte | shortint | int | longint | integer
integer_vector_type ::= bit | logic | reg
This is backward. bit, logic, and reg are the "atom" types, while byte,
shortint, etc, are the vector types.
