Serious question, why do so many people call it 'Monopoly money' for any game cash?

Ngl, I was at a game night in Portland and someone called the paper from Power Grid 'Monopoly money', which is just wrong. Has anyone else had to correct this, or is it just me?

It's a branding win for Parker Brothers, honestly.

Saw a whole thread about this on a board game subreddit. People were saying Monopoly is just the only game a lot of folks have ever played, so all play money gets that name. It's lazy, but it's stuck.
