Because rogue one was a title for the film not the name of the faction. If we did that all the characters from force awakens would have a force awakens lable including the first order.

No, it was the name of the group on Scariff. Before they took off in the stolen shuttle, they were asked their call sign. Jyn told Bodhi to say something and he said, “rogue....rogue one.” Even Admiral Raddus called them rogue one when he received the Death Star plans.

Bistan didn't go with them, yet is considered R1. He came with Raddus as air support reinforcements. If he's R1, do should Leia. She was there for the battle as well.

But Bistan fought on Scariff. Leia did not. Rogue one was on Scariff. Bistan and the rest of blue squadron linked up with Rogue One.

Basically, you could get super technical about everything like trying to include Leia with Rogue One because she was near Scariff but not on Scariff. Vader could be a Rebel because he helped Luke overthrow the Emperor. Lando could be dark side because he betrayed Han. All the Ewoks could be Rebels and so on. See where I’m going? I don’t think anyone mistakes Leia for Rogue One. The whole point is having a separate filter, of which is already in place for TB, of rebel toons specifically associated with Rogue One. There are 9 of them, 8 if you want to be super technical and remove Bistan because he wasn’t on the shuttle to Scariff.
