Having an inaccurate view about something so fundamental to the topic leads you to predict reality incorrectly and make bad decisions

    Nobody does this when people say their computer is "thinking" when it's running slow, I just don't see the necessity of pointing this out every time the topic is brought up.

    I agree it's unnecessary to point out. Using anthropomorphising shorthand to talk about technology is extremely common, and AI is no different; saying an AI is "thinking" or whatever is fine. But there is a difference between using that language as shorthand, and actually holding misconceptions about what is really happening. So saying that it's fine for someone to be misled and use that language is different than just saying the language makes sense to use.
