thats a wild take... isnt this exactly the purpose of a dictionary: to reflect the words used in general language usage?

discuss

Right, the definition should reflect general usage. Did the general usage here just coincidentally change days after a Republican appointee used a word in a hearing? That’s a heck of a coincidence! No, what happened was that liberals used their control over putatively neutral institutions like M-W to advance their position in a political dispute.

I'm very curious how you happened to have, seemingly at the ready, a cite to a 5.5-year-old Fox News piece.
