show don't tell gets thrown around a lot because so many writers start off just telling things instead of showing them. Like, massive amounts of summary and dialogue without any sort of description whatsoever. And yes, they tell what the character is like instead of actually having the character do things, and most of the time what they say the character is like isn't what they are writing.

Show don't tell has entered the realm of "jargon" sadly.

and then you've got amateurs leading amateurs which is sort of like the blind leading the blind so they have heard these phrases and they don't know what they mean exactly but they spout them off anyway. Look how badly mary sue has gotten twisted to mean "any character I don't like"

there is a place for minimalist prose and rarely a place for purple prose (mostly if you are being paid by the word place for purple prose)... in my opinion.
