That's pretty much what I think half the time...I've come to refer it as the "oh no what does someone want now" feature.
That's because since anyone can be invited to the conversation without your permission, it's not really that private after all."PM" is a globally recognised forum term, "Send me a PC" and "PC sent" just don't work as well.
As a side note, I find it a little strange that XF kept the legacy term "thread" (as opposed to "topic"), but created a new term for private messages.
