I'm sorry, it just sounds like you're mad at medical researcher for trying to make their research more accessible?
What do you mean by oversell? And why do you think the general public would be more apt to understand "distinct embryonic progenitor lineages" than "two organs"?
What exactly is the problem here? You think medical researcher are using medial nomenclature wrong?
Honestly write a paper about it then.

I wanted a drawing, but was disappointed.
