Difference is if AEW actually follows a sports-like model, then they are using the phrase correctly.

Vince mainly uses the term as if he's been ashamed he's only ever been successful in wrestling and to rebrand his style of wrestling as something different when it isn't.

NJPW is a lot more sports-like than WWE but don't use the term "sports entertainment" because they don't hold a petty view of wrestling.
