I imagine the symmetry argument applies to hasOwn as well.

Can we change get, set, and has then?

'deleteProperty' was in fact originally called 'delete'. We changed it to avoid a conflict with the keyword, which occurs when importing the function (recall that the Reflect.* methods are actually functions exported from a module). While ES5 made it possible to use keywords as properties, you obviously still can't use keywords as ordinary function names.
defineProperty is by symmetry with the existing Object.defineProperty built-in. I believe the symmetry is more important than a shorter name.
Cheers,

It seems like it would be nicer to change the former to define and delete, respectively?
