I've mentioned at least once (and others have mentioned as well) that it's very common, when describing the ip address/prefix of a NIC to write, "192.168.1.100/24"

Yes, but if you want to retain all of that information, the object you have isn't just a "network", it's more like "network plus the address of its interface". So some people think that using the name "IPNetwork" for this object is confusing.
