The term 'morph' is used because there are Multiple functions that are
cross faded!
If it used all of the AN's parameters to 'morph' with then I suppose you
could call it a true Crossfade, but as the AN's 'Morph' function only
crossfades SOME of the AN's parameters then I suppose 'Morph' is the
correct term.
