They were honestly probably expecting people to associate the title with Isaac Newton. I’m guessing they did some focus groups and that title was more highly rated in that area since Isaac Newton is from there.
They just directly translated the Japanese title for the UK (and everywhere except North America). It’s possible that focus group testing led to the dumbed down version, but it’s also possible they just assumed the simpler title would appeal more to Americans.

But yeah, it is likely a reference to Newton.
They dumb down things for US audiences all the time
