I don't know that I heard it much before the last 5 years
I'm assuming its used in some rules (because its more general than either "goal line" or "first down line" and therefore can be used in more situations), so I can imagine that in the past people have discussed the term when quoting or referring to a rule. But I would agree that it seems that broadcasters have been using it more for the past few years.

There was some weird concerted effort by broadcasters to have this become part of the football lexicon recently

That's probably what brought it into more common usage, but Greg Wrubell has been using it for 20 years.

And if you are familiar with LES, when Wrubell says a team is playing from his left to right as he sees it
