It's dumb to me too, somewhere along the lines of calling programs "applications/apps" instead. I get that language changes, and try not to buck trends if they seem a little off to me, but it pisses me off because people start telling me that the old name/definition are wrong/don't apply anymore when they've been tied at the root to the word and its use for far longer.
TBH am feeling the same thing from Bluesky when they call comments "posts". Like, what you just made, what I'm commenting on, that's a post, not my reply...
