Because, depending on the context, one fits better than the other but they
are both the same thing as far as NT writers were concerned.  Disobedience
is disbelief, and disbelief is disobedience.  They are the two sides of the
one coin.

p.s.-- I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Palmer and Jonathan Robie this
weekend while at the SECSOR meeting.  What delightful chaps they both are!
