Is anyone else annoyed by the use of "Launch" without "Early Access" in front of it or is that just a me problem?

After Forza Horizon 6, Now Subnautica 2 Has Reportedly Leaked 48 Hours Ahead of Launch
(respawnfirst.com)
I've been seeing that too and it's definitely bugging me, not just subnautica too. Many articles relating to early access releases are talking about them like 1.0 is dropping immediately.
Why is this suddenly happening? These can't all be from the devs accidentally releasing the unencrypted files on steam. Directive 8020 leaked as well
Because it’s proven to boost the launch numbers of movies and games when it leaks early because it creates buzz online which is free advertising.
