When someone uses the term "hot water heater" on this NG, oftensomeone
else jumps in to ask, "Why would you want to heat HOT water?"

I noticed that Arlo felt that way in 1993:

Obviously it's to distinguish from a cold water heater, which is one that
hasn't been properly fitted yet or is broken, or a warm water heater that
partially works.

My neighbor pointed out that his heater heats *hot* water. Mine is
set at 120degrees and I call the water that comes out "Hot". His is
set at 140. So he takes 120 degree water and continues to heat it
to 140.

Right. I assume this comes from mixing the two names for what is most often
the same thing; "hot water storage tank", and "water heater".
