it isn't correct that its only a semantic difference.
prices only fall from your perspective because USD (the *actual* UoA) is piling into bitcoin faster than inflation and the other forces that devalue it.
it matters because that's what "the price" is measured in, which is the definition of UoA. doing some division in your head doesn't change that.
the objective of course is to have things measured in BTC. but measuring in BTC has no meaning as long as BTC itself is measured in USD.
because as long as prices are measured in USD,
when it comes down to it
you are still measuring in USD.
even if you convert to the relative value in sats.
