Utilize at least has the additional implication that the tool or skill you're using has utility and is useful.
But yes, in layman speak, use makes more sense.
But the "real word" thing is dumb. Masticate is a word, but you're a ####tard if you use it over chew. The one that I hated forever that finance guys used to tout was "fungible" instead of tangible. Those ####ers won with the concept of NFTs though.
