Edit - I have come to slightly prefer Nishiki over Botan and Kokuho calroses as it seems to stay a bit fluffier after seasoning (when cooked in a Zoji)
A surprising number of sushi places in the U.S. use medium grain rice because the proper type of short grain rice is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive
To the best of my knowledge, nearly all japonica is grown and consumed in California because it requires flood irrigation, and the demand is high enough and the transportation costs low enough to justify the crop

Anything else that people are calling the wrong thing because we've "changed the substance" of it?

You have to be eating a lot of rice to get close to unsafe
The short version is that this is a calrose - a medium grain rice that's designed to be as sticky as Japanese short grain rice. While it's not as good as Japanese koshihikari rice, it's still a good option, is a lot more affordable, is used by respected chefs and restaurants, and will make fine sushi.
But if you want to splurge on koshihikari rice, it's really good and there are lots of great options: Tamaki Gold, Nozomi, Shirakiku / Koshihikari, Kagayaki Select (<- the one I usually get). You may find, like I did, that it's so much better that it's worth the extra.

We'll keep an eye out though in case they offer something good. Definitely cheaper
