I've even seen individuals switch between the two interpretations in the same song. D2 will be a Dsus2, but C2 will be Cadd9. The notation is ambiguous, which has been my main point.

I think you should take a page from my book and say that folks should stop using this C2 notation. If they mean Csus2, write Csus2. If they mean Cadd9, write Cadd9. It is obviously a source of confusion for players, so why have ambiguous notation? We already have notation for the chords that they intend.

As I said in my original post, it is just my pet peeve and most folks don't care.
