Isn’t “heavier” only used when describing weight and not mass?

It’s almost analogous. A more massive object experiences a larger force caused by gravity, so assuming the gravity field stays the same, a larger mass is heavier.
You’re right that it’s technically incorrect, especially when talking about something like moving the Earth with gravity.
