1. Nobody is saying otherwise. Using CE/BCE isn't meant to deny the reason the Gregorian Calendar was devised. Who has ever claimed that?

2. The only people who care why it was chosen are Christians whose feelings are hurt by the change, and I don't see why that should matter to scholars, who are free to use whichever nomenclature they wish, since both are commonly accepted in academia.
