The label is about expression: it records which of two different alleles is seen in the organism, and says nothing about quality or about how many organisms carry the allele. Recessive alleles range from completely harmless to significant in their effects, and one of them may be held by most of a population, so calling an allele weak or harmful simply because it is recessive reads a judgement into a word that carries none.
