You may want to tell Shimano that, and the designer who had it printed it on the part in the photo on post

STI is now the term mainly used for road bike shifters, but in the past, and still for lower end groupsets, has been used for flatbar brakelever/shifter units, this is clearly shown on the Rapidfire units in the photo (they are from the age of the 200GS series, although if anyone can ID the exact model, post up).
