because con is one of the reserved words left over from dos days, like LPT1, or COM1, con is short for console

It is because "CON" is a reserved Word.
There are many words which are reserved. "CON" is a short form for "Console". It is used in DOS command "COPY CON <FileName>".
It is used to create a file.
