mastodon, wording, activitypub rambling

Just noticed this part in Mastodon locales files:
"The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format"
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/v3.4.0rc1/config/locales/en.yml#L892
It's... incorrect?
ActivityPub is *not* a format or idk what, it's a protocol based on *ActivityStreams* vocabulary, which would be the "format" here
(actually if i were to play "true-purist" or shit like that, the completely correct thing is that it's actually JSON-LD format but hey, i'm not into this technical purism shit and it's kinda irrelevant here)
I mean, it's kinda okay for explaining in a simple way..
I'm just a bit skeptical about explaining like that, especially knowing that ActivityPub is largely abused as a term to coin anything on it (microblogging spec based on it when? **specs** when??)
