The issue isn’t that they can be called parentheses, it’s that you said using the word brackets was wrong. Which it isn’t.

Because it’s annoying to “correct” people on their English when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Edit: 🙄
“As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word "bracket" is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region. In most English-speaking countries, an unqualified word "bracket" refers to the parenthesis (round bracket); in the United States, the square bracket.”

These () are called brackets in non-US English.
