Buzz words are sometimes used to hype up something, so be skeptical when you encounter them. Sometimes they're used to conceal something very complex, when it should be explained simply to a five year old. Think Blockchain, AI, NFTs, etc

I think of it like salt. A little here and there is necessary, but too much is sign of a bad cook or that the chicken isn't very fresh.

I think the explained simply is what I prefer (or maybe expect?). I think another comment mentioned the 'safety' of being vague, and I can see that being very likely.
