I think it is part of an intentional replacement, the conflation is only temporary in order to muddy the waters and diminish opposition.

Why intellectual? It seems more political to me (both in the sense of wanting to change policy and wanting to acquire power)

Certainly true - but the advocacy of the philosophical distinction and its promotion originates from various intellectuals. I wish it would go back to where it came from, but I see that we may be stuck with it for quite a while.
