"temporary" is and almost always been more about the fact that they can't be healed and go away when depleted, the word itself doesn't mean it HAS to have a time restriction, but even without that, it's still better to have a single defined and simple term that may be changed in the future than having multiple that change from place to place, non-recoverable may be slightly more intuitive but it's still a mouth-full and temporary still conveys you wont have it for long, "Barriers" only became a thing really because at the time there where both temporary shields from Symmetra and temporary "shields" from Lucio/Doomfist, but after that changed we have since the term temporary shields for them and no issue has been had, just because blizzard isn't the best at having a public single fixed term for certain things doesn't mean there shouldn't be one
