I think it is being used appropriately, as they may not be exactly the same even if the title & descriptor are identical.

For example, the purpose (from WCAG) would be for the user’s last name. However, the HTML autofill attribute is wider, for any last name. (At least that’s how I read it.)

If you are filling out an HR form with all your family’s details, the page should not mark-up other people’s last names with the attribute, at least for accessibility conformance purposes.
