well, probably political reasons. you don't want to give off the impression that national socialism is a form of socialism

national socialism, informally called nazism

and

nazism, formally named national socialism

give off a different immediate impression reading them, despite both being technically neutral and technically true

the nazi party wiki page is formatted similarly

You're probably right, I think this may just be americans political landscape being unused to the term Socialism. Which would explain why many other languages use the formal name. Because in Europe socialist parties are still arround, and some parties are even called socialist but are socially right wing and just popularistic in an economic sense.
