Most people don’t even know how to use their microwave properly. You really think they know how to use their convection oven properly? It’s not WHAT it does, it’s that an air fryer is usually simple and has shit like “turn dial here to cook a chicken”.
People like it because they don’t know what they’re doing and it does it for them.

It absolutely is convection oven just that the rate of airflow is faster and therefore the reaction is more pronounced.

Exactly, and most Americans don’t even have a convection oven either, so in that case the air fryer is functionally different from their oven.
