They say sativa is the energizing/focusing strain, and indica the relaxing/numbing.

Which is a complete lie, there is no difference between a modern bud advertised as sativa and one advertised as indica, complete bro science.

Different kinds and quantities of terpenes however can have an impact on the kind of effect you get.

Around me sativa/indica is just a short hand for how sleepy weed is. No one (around me) pays attention if the weed is actually genetically close to either.

I think its just habit that I use those words rather than saying sleepy or energizing.

Thank you.

I've had genuine landrace Durban Poison, a 100% sativa, and it was pretty nice and sociable. I have grown a strain called Zombie Death Fuck, with OG origins, and it smacks me in the face. It's all about the genetics.
