I missed a reply of yours so I apologize for insinuating you were trolling, you don't have to use the term. It's fine.

I haven't watched the Simpsons in a bit, but I think I remember cromulent. Thanks, gave me a chuckle 😂

Edit: I thought the poster I replied to may have been trolling, instead I missed a reply of theirs. They don't like the term, but I included a link previously explaining what a Stroad is. I apologize for insinuating you may have been trolling, I should do better reading replies before jumping to this conclusion.

Here is more information on the topic: Wikipedia

It was coined in 2011 by a Civil Engineer, so if the Simpsons borrowed it they certainly did from a very intelligent individual.

You're right, no one is. It's actually a portmanteau, but you can absolutely avoid using it. Many of us will continue using it as it describes a particular type of street. Roads are also not always considered streets as well.

Would you prefer people call them roads that service many business and tend to have a high level of foot traffic but are simultaneously used for higher speed travel passing through instead?

I'm fine too as long as somehow we can ban lobbyists.
