I know that, you know that, but the problem is many people distinguish the pepper as Hatch.
I always called them Anaheim chili's or New Mexico chili's as I think of all peppers as chili's.
Its always a big deal around here this time of year for the so called Hatch chili's.

That is why I called them Hatch chili's, for the benefit of the uninformed and tourist.
