Morth, at the time Tolkien wote The Hobbit the term Sindar had not been invented- and indeed, while it's clear from the Turin-poem that Doriath had evolved a much higher culture than Tinwelint's primitive Artanor in the Lost Tales, it would be a long time befoe T tried to differentiate the vague catchall Ilkorindi 'not of Kor', i.e. all Elves who never went to Valinor.
