Cosigned. Fried is not the same as fully cooked. This is important to me because my gut is just fine with fully cooked onions but ... well, let's just say "not" otherwise. Fully cooking onions to the proper transparency (with just the tiniest bit of color) is a 20-minute process, and actual caramelization takes twice that.
I suspect that the reason most cooks lie is that they're not the ones doing it. To them, cooked onions are an ingredient that a spouse or assistant put in a bowl for them while they were still deciding which homey anecdote to fill out their "recipe" with. Peeling, chopping, and basic preparation are for the little people.
