I don't think that's the point...wikipedia is for general knowledge and to quickly inform you.
PLUS according to my googlefu, vertical bar and vertical slash are more popular while "pipe" is for ubuntu users...so sorry >>1, I agree with the other guy. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Oh come now, pipe goes back to text-only days. It's an MS-DOS classic, and you don't find the fuckin' thing on typewriters. It was for piping output of one process to another process, hence it is called the pipe.
