I dunno. Unless something completely replaces both shifters (mechanical or electronic) and brake levers I don't see the term brifter going away in the foreseeable future.
Since I'm both a parent and a grandparent, I do use terms that are no longer technically current like "dialing a phone" or "filming a video" but even my grandchildren know what they mean.
