People fought the terminology for a while, but were overwhelmed. The only purpose it seems to serve is to make a simple discussion about a simple concept completely confusing to people not 'in the know', and in addition the confusing word in question is nearly ungoogleable. Greek does make things sound more mathematical/formal, though, so there's that.
edit: it does seem to be googleable now, but I think the search engines are taking hints from wikipedia.
Yes, whenever I hear polyfill I think computer graphics. Then I decided to read up on it and discovered that it's such a simple concept that's been employed forever. I just continue to shake my head at the kids coming up with jargon to make old things new again. I wish the computer field were less like the fashion world.
