In my view, they are not semantically the same. They might be mathematically the same (or very similar), but the semantics differ.
The general policy in ROS is to have separate message definition if they carry a semantically different information (even if the data structure would be the same). See e.g. Point
vs. Vector3
types.
Pose is (from msg definition) "pose in free space". It does not specify the pose of what kind of object.
Transform is "transform between two coordinate frames". Here it does specify that you should only apply it to coordinate frames.
The difference is nicely visible in the stamped variants of the messages. TransformStamped
has the child_frame_id
field, because it knows it specifies the tf between two tf frames. PoseStamped
has nothing like that - it is just a generic pose of "something" in the given frame.

Yes they are differentiated due to the semantic differences highlighed by @peci1 above.
Also there was a long thread on it recently at ros2/common_interfaces#152
