Seems very pedantic considering that people have been saying jive since the 40s according to Merriam-Webster[1].

Yes, but people haven't been using it incorrectly for long enough for it to be considered acceptable, by the very citation you've given:

> This does raise the question of why we don't enter this sense of jive, even though we have evidence of its use since the 1940s. [...] So far, neither jive nor gibe as substitutions for jibe has this kind of record [literally hundreds of years], but it seems possible that this use of jive will increase in the future, and if it does dictionaries will likely add it to the definition.

Apparently, many English speakers consider it to be acceptable, and have done so for more than half a century.

As a non-native english speaker, I didn't even know about jibe, while knowing about jive.

Lots of English speakers consider "could of" to be acceptable, and have similarly done so for a few decades now. That doesn't make them right ;-)
