Excellent point. I think something like "Doing diaphragmatic breathing for 5 minutes a day where you try to focus your mind on your breath will give you certain benefits" is a lot more useful than nebulous claims about "meditation" that end up getting spun up with people's ideas about spirituality and enlightenment.
Further, there's a tendency for some people to get ecstatic about something they do - be it meditation, lifting, yoga, keto, psychedelics, etc. - and act as if everyone should be binging on it in order to live a good life. That sort of closed mindedness makes one question just how beneficial these things actually are.
