My best guess as to why you are getting downvoted is because folks consider these expressions to simply be morphological clippings/contractions of the original expression. While it is commonly used as an adjectival intensifier they don’t agree with your assertion that it is different altogether and you have introduced an irrelevant argument and have distracted from a perfectly relatable comment.
