Polysemous words exist of course, but that doesn't mean they're always unproblematic. The best examples, like bank (where the money is) versus bank (sloped piece of land) are unlikely to be confused because there is no domain where they're often used in conjunction.
In this context, its charitable to note that some polysemy is at work within the domain (because the application of terms is so new) and so its useful to have these kind of distinction-making conversations.
Many confusions arise when people have different senses of a term but insist there is no polysemy and they're all talking about the same thing.
