Perhaps it's because King Dugan's Dungeon, the 'original' DROD and what DROD originally consisted entirely of, persistently and continuously refers to its floors as "
Level [number]"
. And so does the
second offical DROD hold, JtRH (because it's in "
the same location"
to some extent as KDD). That much exposure to the insistent terminology led to lots of user-made holds of the time
also referring to their levels as "
levels"
, which one imagines continued the linguistic phenomenon.
On the other hand, the transition from calling everything a "
dungeon"
to consistently calling them "
holds"
seems to have occurred
in-setting either after or alongside the transition in the real world? I'm less sure of that since I'm not entirely familiar with the history.
