> using the term “constant time” to refer to time complexity is far more common than using the term to refer to timing attacks susceptibility

This doesn’t make it “confusing”.

The same terminology being used for distinct concepts is indeed a potential source of confusion. If you were to say “this is a constant time algorithm” I would need more information to clarify what you meant, rendering the original term less useful.
