Why don't you use standard terminology & commands?

I spend half my time trying to learn Affinity Photo & Designer because you guys insist on using your own nonstandard terminology for standard functions. For instance, why is there no 'select similar' function? This is a common function in Ps & every imaging app I've ever used.

 

Also, there is no alpha channel function that I can find, probably because you call it something else. So how do I create an alpha channel transparency??

 

Using std. terminology seems like a simple enough concept & it would make your apps MUCH easier to learn.
