Just like LLM sleep has nothing to do with animal sleep, the neuron in a neural network has nothing to do with an actual neuron, and nobody should pretend they do.

I agree we need to be mindful of our metaphores, but they do help both with inspiration for developing techniques as well as for naming things. The onus of keeping bias in check when using metaphores is on the reader, authors can't really do that for you. However once bias is in check you can have a very productive debate in terms of these namings given that everyone is aware of their ontology.
