Trunk dev and continuous releasing every push to trunk is not something I have heard suggested.

If you want CD from some particular branch it would be silly to suggest the active dev branch.

Trunk dev is about how and when new code is merged.

It says nothing about when it is released.

It's incorrect to think that any people doing trunk dev deploy from trunk willy nilly.

Maybe not explicitly, but that's how it comes off.

So why does the compound "CI/CD" term even exist? (IMO, it sucks; all it does is introduce the confusion you're deploring.)

Blame, if not the people using the term "trunk", then the ones using "CI/CD", for this confusion.
