The question is somewhat, how you say, 'convoluted', and if we catch its drift
accurately, then we suspect the writer himself got lost in his own syntax and
misworded it in one or two places.
We understand the question to be asking: Why is 'moon' used as the generic term
for satellites of other planets, when "Moon" is the proper name of Earth's satellite ?
The answer to the question that we have provided is: "Moon" is not the proper name
of earth's satellite. That would be "Luna".
So even when we talk about our own moon, we don't even use its name. We just
call it 'the moon'.
If we did the same thing when we talk about the thing we're standing on, we wouldn't
call it "Earth". We would call it "the planet".
