My guess is that they have not submitted the fluid for testing to be able to use the (trademarked) ATF+4 name on their label.
If you read the labels closely, you'll see references to other applications (Mercedes 722.6?) where ATF+4 would work, and I think that's their sneaky way of getting around the whole trademark usage issue.
"No, our fluid is not an ATF+4 fluid (but it will totally work wherever ATF+4 works, so...)"
Or something like that...
