I haven't heard it called by that name before (it's a good name! Like "(green)grocers' apostrophe").
Forcing manufacturers to clearly declare whether they're counting "linear" or "log" when they provide technical specifications would be a good thing, in my opinion; alternatively, steps should be taken to educate the masses, if only so that we no longer have to endure such idiotic boasts as "my camera (-phone, usually) has EIGHT megapickles!" or "my computahrr has a hundred gigglebites!!"
