Why were edwards curves given distinct key types, aren't they EC keys?

It seems like they are EC keys, with specific curve designs, and that
also have some algorithms designed specifically for them, like EdDSA
-- though it looks like that alg is being generalized to other curve
types (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8032#ref-EDDSA2).

What about them makes it necessary to make them distinct, both from
each other, and EVP_PKEY_EC?

Thanks,
Sam
