[BioC] counts vs exprs

I was trying out the DESeq package, whose documentation says:
"The CountDataSet class is derived from Biobase’s eSet class and so
shares all features of
this standard Bioconductor class."
So I tried exprs() on it, which didn't work. Of course, CountDataSets
have their own
counts() function. I was just wondering why they have different
names. Why not make
count data accessible through exprs()? Is the reasoning behind this
due to R internals,
or is it biologically motivated?
