Is this the expected revert behaviour ?

When I read "revert modified files", I understand that only files marked
as M in the 'status' output are reverted. While, as it seems like any
file can be reverted to a particular version. So I don't get why there
is this formulation of "modified files" instead of "the named files".

Moreover, I perceive the notion of "reversion" like something to "go
back in the past", while it is possible to "revert to a newer version",
which sounds weird.
