That's why they use the term. There are lots of very real and logical reasons for "felt recoil" being less than true or free recoil. Recoil pads, built-in shock absorbers, the cycling of a gas auto vs. a fixed breech gun, etc. However, many times the term is wrongly used to justify the unjustifiable nonsense put out by the seller of the latest snake-oil idea.
