I think a lot of people don’t. The word ‘cis’ seems to have been invented because some people object to the term biologically-female or biologically-male, but that’s generally what it means.
To add, cisgender is not that new of a word, it’s been around since the 90s in English.
Using the term “biological male/female” is an immidate red flag as it carries with it the insinuation that trans identities are not ligitimate; you could just say “not trans.” Hence the heavy use by right wingers and bigots.
Specifically transphobes prefer saying biological this and that rather than use a trans persons gender identity as a way to purposefully invalidate them

Cis and trans have existed since Ancient Rome was a thing
So has the french language but it still isn’t going to adequately convey the meaning of biological sex to most Americans.
No, French did not exist at the same time as the Roman Empire.
Thank you for that information. I hope you have a pleasant weekend.
