American Alpine Club's Accidents in North American Climbing chooses to call Denali "McKinley"

I was dismayed to see the editors choose "McKinley" in the book I just received today. I looked at years prior, and apparently they started doing it last year. FWIW the Journal seems to continue calling it Denali.

Pretty strange to me, given the opinion of most climbers I know of, as well as locals, is "it's Denali". Curious what their reasoning was, and what they think the reasoning for this administration's name change is.
