Words brought into English can use English pluralisations, so you're not wrong if you say octopuses. I think Grammar Girl had a take on this maybe 7 or even 8 years ago by now. These days, I can't see myself getting worked up about it for the sheer fun of being pedantic like I used to.
We're well past it meaning anything. These rebukes, reprimands, and censures are political theater. Fascists laugh when you use the rigged system against them.
They wouldn't want to, because it doesn't matter to them. It makes their bogeyman Trump even scarier, and keeps that desperate cash flowing to their campaign coffers so both parties can play off one another while robbing the country, and the global South, blind.
I think you already know the reason is money. Exploiting others isn't demonized, it's celebrated as "innovative" and "clever" and "entrepreneurial spirit."
