Probably has something to do with "being triggered" is an actual medical term that's been co-opted and the term has been diluted because of that.

Like gunshots to a soldier with PTSD can trigger flashbacks, I've been next to a guy while it happened. It was fine, but it's not a good thing.

No, it's not. You can be offended without being triggered, and you can be triggered without being offended. They sometimes do come together as a pair, but not always.

If you are offended then you are triggered. If you are not offended then you can't be triggered.
