This is a clickbait phenomenon. People will deliberately misstate things in their headlines to get clicks and attention.
And, well, inventing new terms is also a popular way to get attention, which this author also did.
There's not point in trying to chase after shifting word meaning, if people are always going to try to shift it again.
