Now, if you say 0.500 is not the bar that teams need to aim for anymore, that's a legit argument. But 0.500 has never been the bar, has it? Was 82 points ever enough to get into the playoffs since teams started playing 82 games?

The term is used in all sports. In NBA and the NFL for example, being above 500 pretty much means you are in the playoffs.
