Well, I've been back Stateside for almost two years, and I've noticed a big expansion of minimalist shoe options over that time. When I first got back all that I heard of were the VFFs, which do look like feet, and the Nike Frees, which aren't minimalist. So I'm wondering if the fact that there are more non-foot-shaped, minimalist shoes around these days might begin to influence the terms used by the shod masses. I mean, if the VFFs hadn't come along, but if post-2009 BFR had still been a powerful enough trend to influence the move away from over-engineered shoes towards minimalist ones, I doubt anyone would be calling the latter "barefoot shoes."
