this is unfairly negative, Storybook started calling it stories and before them, PMs and UX researchers, to the point that it was an industry understood term long before Histoire came along. the overloading is unfortunate but happens all the time - we don't complain about "bug" or "fork".

"Bug" and "fork" are industry standard terms, "stories" are not. Plenty of frontend developers exist who don't know the term. Overloading is fine. Ambiguous use of an overloaded term is not. What is one to think of when they see words like "write", "stories", and God forbid, "book"? Storybook stories, of course.
