It does help. It would turn it into a dangerous game, we can't just put "micro" in front of everything and hope people understand.

Replace microfrontend with microservice, and your concern is still valid. Naming is hard:

Anyway, "microservice" doesn't say anything useful about the problem they are trying to solve. How micro is "micro". And "service"? isn't that the whole user system how can it be micro? The confusion only increases when someone mentions that it can involve multiple frameworks (how can that still be micro?). If we are talking about independent api pieces, we already have "request handlers" how is this any diferent?
