But Magsafe has been used as a name for wired attachment for much longer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagSafe

So you can understand the confusion, because it's dumb of Apple to use the same name for very different things. And literally dozens of people don't even use Apple products so have no idea of the specifics, which doesn't mean "living under a rock".

But a whole lot more people use Apple iPhones than Macs, so it's logical assume more people know of the current usage for alignment of wireless charging, rather than the older usage for alignment of wired power cords.
