It's a named argument.
Positional arguments intermixed with options can get confusing. When you see
aprogram.py --a --b c --d --e
is 'c' the value for --b, or is it a positional argument? Hard to tell.
Using options syntax for everything makes it clearer, because everything has a
name:
aprogram.py --a --b --c c --d --e
Whether an argument is named and whether it's optional are orthogonal traits.
Positional arguments can be optional as well, and named arguments ("options")
can be mandatory.
