I think you are technically correct that we often use the wrong word, art instead of technique. However it is common use of "art" to mean "high level of technique" for example in martial arts.

Likewise many people currently use "Corona" instead of "CoViD-19". We still communicate just fine. Still, precise use of words is necessary in technical documentation and a blog post might be considered as such. Maybe not though.
