Because Archfiend in the original language is literally "Demon" so its actual name should be "Red Dragon Demon". But because religious censorship they can't use words like "Hell" and "Demon" so they localized the archetype "Demon" as "Archfiend"

Also, the original Signer Dragons weren't supposed be archetypal cards, that's why none of them had mentions of the signer's archetypes because the dragons were independent of the deck the signer used. And that's why nowadays Konami has to make clunky support to shoe in these cards into their archetypes.

Well, that's why the "Red" archetype exists, and yes that does make all Red-Eyes cards part of it too, Speedroid moment

If that is the case how come they didn't call it Red Devil Dragon instead?

There's only 1 card with the literal word Devil in its name and it's Tasmanian Devil and that's because it's not a literal Demon but a reference to the real world creature with the same name. The other 3 are actually Daredevil which is not the same as a literal Devil.
