The reason you don't hear more people explaining the difference between being a pedophile and being an ephibophile is that it makes you look like a pedophile.
Case in point.
there's a joke that goes technically there are 3-4 different words for what the layman calls pedophilia, but the only people who know the difference are psychiatrists and pedophiles
That is true, it is the case for all minor attractions. Within the current situation, the most prominent issue is that information is not factually based and definitions are skewed. Like the original commenter had said, this introduces ambiguity.
