For many people there's no snacking or eating outside regular meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner). In this case 16/8 IF would be skipping breakfast which is exactly my case for many years now.

So for "many" people you could say "skipping breakfast" and it would mean the same thing.

But what about the many other people who eat snacks and for whom "skipping breakfast" could mean only 10, 12 hours of fasting?

If you need a term for all people to mean exactly what you want to mean, a term that is correct only for "many" people is not enough.

Aside, IF also includes 24 or 36 hour fasting.

Just not many people in the US...

Unfortunately the rest of the world is catching up quickly.

True. It's not the US per se, it's the processed food (crap) industry and the work lifestyle (no time to cook).

Yep
