"There is a reason why we first call the it fan fiction at sky,because every name was decided by the fans who translated it first..."

You seem to not have gotten it. The word "fan fiction" was a joke. It was used, after, yen press licenced the light novel, thus making all translations of the official work illegal. But, if one were to translate a mere fan fic of it, then it wouldn't be the case. They did the same, when Konosuba was licenced, and weren't allowed to translate the 'official' work.

It wasn't used to undermine their capabilities as translators.

Just because someone is paid by a publisher to translate a novel, doesn't make it more accurate.

As to the 2 groups you are refering to. It all comes down to, which group is bigger. If, lets say, the group, who uses the terms from the "fan fiction" makes 80% of all the fans, while the one that prefers the officialconsist of only 20%, then THAT would be silly to make the much larger group get used to all these new terms.
