The finance sector has a long history of deprecating loss terms.

The US no longer has "depressions". Those used to be commonplace.

Actually, the first term was "panic", That was gradually replaced with "depression". After the Great Depression (1929--1941), the term "recession" came into use.

The Wikipedia list itself is titled "recessions":

That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
