Especially since I see people using it to mean "non-flammable" all the time as well.

My balls are non-flammable. I had them coated in flame retardant material a few years back.

Because some farts are flammable and some farts are inflammable.

I dunno. Why do people call water heaters hot water heaters? The only time I heated hot water was to make superheated steam.
