This usage of equity is, what, five years old? Does something that new really call for an “I never thought I’d live to see the day”?

I think that OP is not objecting to the usage of "equity" but its association with "dogma".

It’s a good sign that something is dogma when emotions run very high over exact word choices.

For example there were huge controversies in the fourth century over homoousion (“same in essence”) vs homoiousios (“similar essence”).

Reminds me of equity vs equality.
