Because, in Yosemite, Apple moved this folder actions functionality to Automator but apparently did not want to break existing scripts. AppleScript dictionaries from Apple and third parties are full of hidden synonyms like this, often for reasons like this.

Unfortunately, the move to Automator isn't mentioned in the AppleScript Release Notes for Yosemite. This is presumably because the AppleScript Release Notes are intended for the most part to be limited to the AppleScript language and Apple scripting additions, but I think that is a policy that ought to be revisited.

Correction: this was included in the 10.6 AppleScript Release Notes, too:

Folder Actions

Folder Actions now supports attaching an Automator workflow as a folder action. Only “files added” actions are supported; the added files will be the input to the workflow.
