There's definitely confusion that's being exploited. Maybe we need a new marking on products that indicates how long it takes to break down under normal "in the wild" conditions? Biodgradable means that it can be broken down by a biological agent, however most people assume it means that it will break down under normal conditions or "in the wild" which is not the case. Composting is a controlled process, regardless of whether it's your backyard or an industrial facility, where the materials undergo exposure to certain conditions that expedite, or in the case of PLA, facilitate decomposition. Compostable is a subset of biodegradable, is there a term for biodegradable items that will decompose under uncontrolled conditions?
