I mostly agree with you. My only note is that "Catalina" is easier to remember than "version 10.15". I believe this is all part of the general trend towards soft and sloppy language. Like "launch PowerPoint". "Launch". There's a zillion examples of imprecise language used to describe computer-related things. "Device" is a good one. "Substance abuse" falls in that category. Sawdust is a substance, can I abuse it?

As an explanation, not an excuse, I think this phenomenon exists because use of computers arrived so rapidly that society couldn't educate itself fast enough. We got skeuomorphisms like deleting files via dragging to an image of a wastebasket, or the old 1.44 inch floppy case as a save button, or calling directories "folders". Technology changed so rapidly that folklore had to take the place of any thought out or well-considered set of practices and vocabulary.

To answer your question, I haven't come to terms with it. I feel irritation when someone writes or talks about something like "task manager" or "tool" or "navigate to the login page".
