Why do so many videos and even online camera stores call the 4/3 type sensor "Micro Four Thirds" when Micro Four Thirds is a mirrorless camera mount format?

I get that they sound similar but they absolutely are not the same thing and its use implies that there are only mirrorless cameras.

What's an example of a device with a 4/3 sensor that is not m43?
2I've still got an old Olympus E-300 that fits that category :)
2The Panasonic LX100 and Leica D-Lux are fixed-lens cameras with that sensor format.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has the m43 mount but not a 4/3 sensor; it's 18.95x10mm instead of 17.3x13mm.

I didn't know the mount is proprietary
1I guess it is actually an open standard.
