> I see in my work all the time that developers building frontends on top of microservices believe that because the system is called "eventually consistent", they can ignore consistency issues in refences between objects, causing flaky apps.

If someone misunderstands that badly, why would one believe they would do any better if it was called "never consistent"?

That is a fair point, although I believe that misleading name is contributing to the confusion.
