It isn't really used to mean figuratively though. It's used as an intensifier, and all of its synonyms are as well. And they all have been for hundreds of years. Really, truly, honestly, actually, etc. Seems so strange to me that this is the single word from the group that gets dogpiled on, and the perception that it's some new phenomenon, Mark Twain used it in the same manner.
