It seems logically rude to create your own definition, declare it the one "true" definition, and then complain that others are using their own terms. The term "signalling" has been used consistently, judging by your examples of so-called misuse, and it is you who is refusing to interpret them correctly.
Furthermore, is it really that hard to postulate that people may associate certain traits with signals that do not require said traits to produce?
Well, that doesn't take into account definition drift. Like it sounds like 'costly signalling' got abbreviated to 'signalling' and then spread out while still sorta-referring specifically to costly signalling.
