Yes, one is Siberian winter, the other is depths of hell fire. Choose your morning face washing fate.

I hear you, but without the short term there is no possibility of long term. Dark patterns aside, there are better ways that don’t result in design loosing face in the boardroom.

To answer your question as to who calls it that:
Developers do. And then they argue with design team who calls it out for about 8 hours, then PM walks in and sides with developers because upsetting them off is more costly than upsetting designers. Because they “paint” things.
