ASP.NET MVC shares a ton of the common infrastructure with ASP.NET webforms. It's true that when there was only webforms, there was no need to distinguish and it was all called "ASP.NET". However, MVC and webforms are now two different patterns one can use to structure applications that run on the large, extensive and shared "ASP.NET" infrastructure.

As are ASP.NET Web API, and several non-Microsoft projects such as Fubu MVC, NancyFx, or MonoRail. That said, can't blame anyone for once again being confused by Microsoft's ultra-confusing "give everything the same name" approach to branding.
