It might well be intentional. Scientists like those weird double entendre titles; it's especially noticeable in paper titles in academia, which often follows the format ("project name: punny phrase vaguely explaining the project").

It's frustrating because as a grad student I was explicitly taught to avoid using local slang, informal sayings and expressions, humor, etc. in my academic writing to make it as understandable and unambiguous as possible.

World coordinates refer to points in the actual world versus on a 2d surface in computer vision so I think this language follows from that.

To bring the metaphor back to its original reserve, since the world is highly dynamic, what stabilizes peoples view of it?

Yep, this headline is similarly problematic:
