Comment (by jdgrimes):

 I agree that this is confusing at first. But it's not just these
 functions. There are quite a few other places where `network` would now be
 more accurate but `site` is still used. I have the same sentiment toward
 changing these, but if we change these option functions, it really won't
 go very far toward improving core's consistency. I'd love to see `site`
 replaced with `network` everywhere in core, but it's almost impossible to
 do that and maintain backward compatibility. I think folks might favor
 this as part of a long-term project to improve core's consistency here,
 but it should really be the result of more significant changes. E.g.,
 #20651

 So yes, let's change these to `*_network_option()`, but let's not just do
 it to change the names. Find everything wrong with the old functions that
 we couldn't fix without breaking back-compat, and let's fix it in the new
 functions.
