In the manual and a few other places I noticed references to ‘printf’

I believe that "printf" is widely used to describe formatting while
`format' is specific to Emacs, so in user docs printf should be
preferable. Not all Org mode users are necessary closely familiar with
elisp.
It may be stressed however that it is not exactly C formatters.
I do not think that avoiding "printf" makes the manual more clear for
new users.
