No, words & phrases cant just "mean anything", they have actual definitions.
You linked a couple articles that used the phrase when describing a sudden drop in stock value.
A companies stock dropping ~8% over the course of a few hours can be considered falling off a cliff.
A piece of hardware dropping ~5% from one year to the next is not falling off a cliff.
Those two things are not comparable.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
