Because the same reason why LG phones and TVs aren't called Goldstar anymore ;) (Marketing)

You're right! Reminds of the time I was in Hong Kong and though I was buying a name-brand calculator. On closer inspection it turned out to be a SHRAP.

Or was that SCRAP?  ;)

Nichicon is another excellent brand, so both your samples are top quality capacitors.

The blue style is almost generic for use in open frame linear power supplies, regardless of brand.  Nippon Chemi-con might even have built a product line with that form factor just to tap into that market.

The black style has also become generic, first in switching supplies, but now for just about everything.  The LQ series has been replaced by the LS series which isn't listed as anything special (i.e. low ESR), so the size differences are likely due to manufacturing processes which are probably trade secrets, as well as popular form factors for different applications.
