IOW, in a way, the two terms are swapped, to the
extent that anyone even uses "frame" outside Emacs.
(Element <frame> isn't used much anymore.)

iframes are still used, and will continue to be used for years.

The terms are swapped, yes. If they weren't swapped (and just one of them had an "unusual" meaning in Emacs), that would have been less of a problem.
