They'll make the distinction of saying "#1 scoring offense or defense" when necessary.

Correct.
I think they do it because points per game has the potential of being deceptive. Pick-6, kick return for TD, punt return for TD, fumble return for TD, etc all increases points per game but it’s not the offense that did it.
Or even having more drives because a teams defense caused more turnovers.
Personally, I look at Offensive Points Per Drive, which has KC at #1 and and therefore in my opinion the best offense in the NFL.
