We also don't say trigger when you shoot a gun. Imagine someone yelling fire in a period piece and someone lighting fuse on a cannon and it going off seconds later. Or lighting a firework/bomb and waiting like 20 seconds per foot of length. Not nearly as climactic I'm guessing when it comes to immersion.

We do say trigger for bombs though, but that is because the trigger initiates the action as opposed to the person being the one who pulls the trigger for a gun when they fire it.
