I think it is a historical artifact because chosen in analogy to quantum field theory, which also isnt a theory.
Particular attempts to realize the standard model specifically are called string models in the community. ST is the name for the mathematical framework.

And string theory won't be confirmed until it actually has evidence supporting it besides 'the math works and it doesn't contradict previous observation'. Theoretical physicists tend to flatter their models by calling them theories prematurely, IMHO.
