Because it's most likely not. Everyone calls everything ddos nowadays.
If someone fires up a login bruteforcer - POOF IM BEING DDOS'D.
If someone fires a site crawler - POOF IM BEING DDOS'D.

etc etc etc.
If you get ddos'd, you most likely know who is behind it, why, and what he wants from you because he will warn you before ddosing you trying to extort something, get something, or put your site down for something. By "who" i mean their online persona. DDoSing takes real resources. REAL DDoSing takes REAL resources. You don't waste those, you get money/influence with it. You don't just go randomly wasting those resources on a run by site, or because a model didn't take her panties off in time for you to nut.
