excellent point and heartily endorsed. (probably similar to the usage creep that's happened to the term "emotional labor"?)
i remember first encountering the term in some sort of sociology paper or something similar, and it didn't make me angry then. but basically all the big tech companies these days use it all the fucking time for just... mundane shit that should be figured out... so, yeah, in the past few years is only when i've noticed the term being actually irritating.
