Is it fair to say the definitional confusion bothered you more than the interesting aspects (I'm presuming that part "b" above is more interesting) pleased you?

If I were to guess... I'd say you (and many people, including myself, often) are weary of people redefining words in a way that seems wasteful, distortive (such as 'stealing' words that formerly had clear technical meanings), purely commercial, or self-promotional.
For me, at least, the intent of the redefinition matters. But I detect no self-interest or obvious neglect in the case of the arithmetic primes.
