Much like hacker or begging the question, this is a lost cause. I agree, if the cause is getting everyone in to stop using the term incorrectly. But that's not my cause (and if it were, my contribution to it would be too insignificant to justify typing in a comment).
Perhaps people think that the vertical axis is 1/productivity or difficulty or something. I very much doubt that. Anyone who looked deeply enough to see a graph would see the real one. Either they're visualizing climbing a hill or thinking of "steep penalties" meaning "high penalties." There are also people who use "learning curve" all by itself to mean "learning requirement," as in "we'd like to switch, but there's a learning curve." This falls in the same category of using fancy words to sound smarter as "we need connectivity" to mean "we need a connection" or "we'll sell it at a higher price point" to mean "we'll sell it at a higher price."
