I didn't downvote you, but your last paragraph is unnecessarily aggressive.
I've worked with agents, and I agree with you that often there isn't another way to express the interactions.
However, I also think the terms ML uses in general are a mimicry that misleads people who aren't informed. Ask anyone outside SWE what they think “training” means, and they'll usually picture something being taught.
I don’t think anybody can change that now, but it’s useful to point it out.
