The name was probably picked in analogy to the corresponding emacs-lisp
function `load-file' which also loads lisp files only. The latter is
much too well entrenched to ever consider renaming. The org-babel
version is certainly not, so renaming it is a possibility, although IMO
it's a hassle without much payoff: C-h f org-babel-load-file tells you
what you need to know.
