This is not the first time I have seen this but it is actually quite commonly used / mistake. I wonder if 20 years from now the word premise would have a different meaning.

Very common, for sure. And although I think it's worth professionals being aware of the difference, I tend not to bother with less technical folks.

Given that "literally" is now often used to mean "figuratively", it's absolutely possible!
