Wood Flooring

My roommate posed a great question the other day:

Why do they call it a hard wood floor?

He's right. I've never heard of a softwood floor. You never hear about floors made out of balsa wood. We know they are hard. Can't we just say wood floors? It just one of those oxymorons that we just accept in this country. Much like the president, minus the oxy.
