Why would use of literally imply there’s a figurative way to do it? Literally has been used for emphasis and even sometimes used (correctly) to mean figuratively, for literally hundreds of years. Language is fluid and fun, and words have multiple meanings. Always have, always will. Don’t fight it, enjoy it.
