The term "hidden services" damaged the Tor Project branding so much
because of all the fake news and clickbait around it. Onion services sound
much more innocent and would help Tor Project branding. (Remember the more
the fake news creates FUD about "hidden services" the more difficult life
is for Tor and the Tor branding)
I don't see why this move sounds negative to you.
