Someone writes a paper using the terminology, others refer to it, and it sticks.

Considering "weakly interacting" is already a very stuck name. By most accounts these are typical black holes, which do not interact weakly, let alone not at all. I don't think this name will stick.

"quiescent" is already in wide use referring to black holes, and "quiescent" appears in the 2nd paragraph of this paper. Some stellar binary systems are called "interacting".

And according to the full title of the paper, it is not the black hole that is noninteracting, it is the binary system.
