I wasn't aware that physicists in any great numbers were opposed to the
word. It's still in most of the textbooks. I thought I was in a very small
minority in my opinion that "voltage", "amperage", and "wattage" are
unnecessary barbarisms best avoided.
So, why are physicists so set against the term "voltage"? It seems to
me that E&M at a general physics level could be simplified by using the
word that the students recognize.
