I think a critical point to consider is that an "industry" is often not as monolithic as it may first seem. In my experience, people with similar interests in statistics / machine learning, and psychology / neuroscience regularly rename old terms (sometimes without even realizing there's an "old term" to rename).
Once someone has put language out there, and is benefitting from brand appeal, they're not always motivated to rename everything, especially if no one pointed out the old term until long after their work was out there. Once people have invested time in learning the new terms, they might not be strongly motivated to remap them onto old terms.
