ubiquitous

I think 'ubiquitous' is originally a theological
term meaning 'present or appearing everywhere; omnipresent'.
'Ubiquitous computing' seems to retain part of this
meaning: computing that can be done anywhere, any time.
But in the following cases, it just means 'common', I think.
"A keiki's, or children's, menu is available, with fish, chicken, and the ubiquitous hamburger."
"Golden arches not included: An example of the ubiquitous McMansion."
I wonder if this is commonly used.
Thank you.
