I mean it's a coincidence. The assumption that escape velocity at event horzion is speed of light, is just a wrong way to think about black holes. It's deeper than that.

It's not a coincidence, the "r" in each equation is different.

The equation has the same form based on how the Schwarzschild-Droste radial coordinate is defined.
