Debouncing is established terminology in UI and other event-handling stuff at this point, and has been for a decade. It's a bit too late to complain. Language evolves and not all new uses of words are good analogies.
Yeah. It is not too uncommon for terms to refer to how things were done in the past or in another context. For example, we still "dial" a number on our phone even though rotary phones are no longer used...for other examples see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misnomer#Older_name_retained
