The standardizers wanted to simplify it (compared to how you were supposed to do it for the different modes/doctypes HTML 4.01 and XHTML had to offer).
Slightly longer version:

Addendum: ... HTML5 is the "living standard" of HTML, so we may never see an HTML 6 per se, depending on how the politics shake out.

Because 5 in HTML 5 is just a version number. The original name was still HTML.
