Noone thinks about Renaissance use of Latin when seeing a headline about quantum satellites.

Renaissance use of Latin? It's a moderately common modern English word. Did people think Quantum of Solace was about physics?

As it happens I agree the title is very confusing, but I think you're overstating the point.

Well it was you who picked the century to illustrate your point.

Many of scientific/technology terms have different colloquial uses. Context makes all the difference, as am sure you are fully aware.
