Physical property doesn't share all of the same properties and issues as intellectual properties so there is no reason why decisions and laws about one should be a standard for the other. In places where issues and solutions do overlap, there are similarities, like considering them both a kind of 'property' and applying concepts of 'ownership' and 'theft.'
That's a happy convenience.
