Comment(by dd32):

 The only reason that it doesnt "work" is that the terms are then shared,
 and modifying one modifies the other.

 I'm not 100% sure if it worked like you're saying in 2.9, I know in 3.0
 early it did (after i started hacking away at taxonomy UI), It recently
 changed to unique the slug accross all taxonomies however, So as to give
 distinct terms accross the board.. That doing was me, in #11838.

 While for some people it seems like a good idea, Some people use the Term
 Description for something useful, and wouldnt expect that to flow to
 "Something" in the other taxonomy.  It becomes more of an issue when you
 start utilising custom taxonomies where plugins expect to be able to
 delete their taxonomies terms (without modifying for example, the users
 categories)
