So you're saying you're unemployed?
It's called an occlupanid, thank you.
Yep, that's what I was thinking. You pull it off because you like them and it's authentic to your personality.

100% this. I've been on Linux for 27 years now (ffs I'm getting old), and until proton, I just wrote off gaming as a hit or miss experience, usually not worth the trouble. Now I'll buy Windows only games without even checking compatibility in most cases. Unless it's a full price AAA game, I'll risk the off chance that it doesn't work.

Language evolves, the meaning of words change. It's a natural part of the evolution of language over time. You say hang up the phone or dial a phone number, don't you? But you don't literally hang up a phone when you're done with it or turn a literal dial anymore. But they used to work that way, so we still use that language even though the original meaning is lost.
