> Does language around fusion reactors ("bringing power of the sun to Earth" and the like) cause similar associations?

Yes. And the people talking about "bringing the power of the Sun to Earth" are usually either full of shit or expect so little from their audience that they are effectively talking shit (or are making clickbait, what's the same). (And yes, there's a lot of fraud around fusion too.)

The people doing actual work don't use phrases like that in normal conversation.
