“Divorced from the context that brought them about”
Ahh, so you’re complaining about all the Germanic words in English, or the Latin words?
The whole point of their diatribe is that the “brain rot” words you hate are little different from most words. It’s just that for some words the “in group” is Latin speakers, and for some words it’s some group nerding out about their own topic that spread their word to the rest of us… actually, I’m still talking about Latin speakers.
