they are not related to buffalo at all


Doesn't matter.  People call bison buffalo all the time so it's an accepted term even though it's technically incorrect.  I have a pack of buffalo burgers from North Dakota in my freezer.  The package says buffalo.  So it's not really a mistake because people in the USA use it both ways and it's an accepted term.
