I could imagine that Ubisoft wants to kill all russian developing studios to become the only monopole. That would justify the decision.
Building brands is a costly process. By using the old name they can target people who know the brand but are not hardcore enthusiastic enough to know that SOW is made by the same people.. So businesswise it's a very logical decision. IL-2 is a hugely acclaimed brand so why not use it in a "sequel" ?

Anyway. I don't understand this nitpicking about stupid things.. Why do you care what's the name of the game? As long as it flys well I'm happy.
