they’re just using the word in an implicitly narrow context.

I think we mostly agree, but disagree on this point. I think it's just that most people haven't given it any thought. Like they are just ignorantly going along with the popular opinion.

I suppose mob mentality is likely to play some part in every widely shared view.

At the very least, I can guarantee that one of said people has given it thought. :)
