Only speculation here, but I think its reasonable to say its due to superficial physical resemblance.

Probably 'cause they look really similar. Get rid of a sharks big teeth, and get rid of a catfish's whiskers, and you have two fish that look remarkably alike.

Cant really disagree with any of the answers. I'm sure it doesn't hurt marketing them for sale either!
