I have never seen or heard of a C4 interpreted as C-F-Bb. I've used
that chord symbol thousands upon thousands of times and not once was
it misinterpreted. At least by pros. Beyond that, I don't speculate.
Maybe it's a right vs left coast thing. I still hate those triangles
for major 7ths and the minus dash for minor 7ths. Ugh.

To me it's a lot like writing a C4 chord symbol versus a Csus4.
I've used both, prefer the former, and I've never had it questioned.
I'm not disputing the original point, but this one. C4 in some
circles means a stack of 4ths up from C, so C, F, Bb, which is not
the same function as C,F,G.
It is this that keeps me using the more unwieldy, but crystal clear,
Csus4.
