I have, in nearly 35 years of using English, come across exactly 1 "correct" usage of "begs the question" outside of comments like yours correcting people.

In other words: You're fighting a lost battle. I suspect if you put the two common uses of it to a representative sample of people, that the majority won't even know the original usage at this point.

The problem is that "begs the question" is a poor textual representation for what it means. "Assumes the conclusion" is a better affordance.

It largely depends on context--in politics/philosophy literature it's used quite often.
