Maybe it was intentional. After all, they do have a whole devil theme going with the game. Zariel, Avernus, Raphael, all the tieflings, Panels from Hell...
Ya know, not a lot of people really talking much about the devil theme aspect of the story. The focus is usually more on mind flayers and the Absolute. Gotta wonder, how much of everything happening is really spawned by the Hells?
