They were coined in the extremely influential foundational research the "pop science book" was based on, but that doesn't make it a marketing ploy; System 1 is very fast non-verbal subconscious heuristic operation, and a lot of our brain's classification takes place at that stage. Anyone familiar with the usage immediately had clear ideas about how it'd ideally be used (e.g. heuristics that reduce search space, manage context elements dynamically, etc) vs not (e.g. as a 1:1 replacement for something that could already be easily solved with a classifier).
