The "issue" (if there is one) is that this report (in terms of what it 
shows) is known be different NAMES depending on the type of entity for 
which the books are being kept. Note that the name of the report (in 
gnucash) and the title of the report in the report itself need not be 
the same (you can change the title via Edit=>Options.

I mainly keep books for non-profits, for which the report is known as 
the "Revenue Statement" or "Statement of Revenues and Expenses".

For a for profit business known as "Profit and Loss" and for personal 
books "Income Statement".
