I've always tried to be precise with the type of foul, but I'm starting to get the impression most really don't care.

I don't get the impression that most don't care. I always try to be precise, even adding "non-approved" NFHS mechanics if a player gets hit on the head or something.
But I think the overwhelming majority do see hand checks as a foul on a dribbler. Once a player gets into their shooting motion if the hand is there it is effectively a push or illegal use of hands.
I'm still trying to envision a play where I would even think about calling a hand check on a shot attempt.
