Characteristics Of An Endomorph: The endormorph is usually round and has a soft musculature; round face, wide hips, short neck and heavy fat storage. Endormorphs have a slow metabolism, so they need to watch what they eat in order to get fit. An endomorph should aim for a moderate caloric intake and add cardio exercises and weight lifting so he can burn more calories and boost his metabolism.

Nutrition For An Endomorph An endormorph often has a slow metabolism and have a greater amount of fat cells. Endormorphs can build a lot of muscle, but they will have to watch what they eat in order to keep their body lean. In that case, carbohydrates should be limited, whether it's for building muscle or lose fat.

Recommended macronutrient ratio for an endomorph who wants to build muscle: Carbohydrate 30% - Protein 50% - Fat 20%

Recommended macronutrient ratio for an endomorph who wants to lose fat: Carbohydrate 20% - Protein 50% - Fat 30%

Training For An Endomorph Building mass for an endomorph is not very difficult neither. He will have to be concerned with weight loss, this is why he should be dedicated into his diet and workouts, which will help him achieve this goal. Whether the endomorph wants to build muscle or lose fat, he should:

Compound Movements With Short Rest: adding compound movements is key to an endomorph, since these exercises tend to be build more muscle mass and burn more calories. In addition, short rest between sets, which also help to burn more calories.

Rep Range And Superset: the rep range for an endomorph should be between 8 and 15 repetitions. During his training, an endomorph should also include supersets: do two different exercises in a row (bench press - pull ups), it also helps burning more calories.

I've seen the term before so I'm not completely surprised by it.

In fact the height comparison website I found for fandom shenanigans uses the system:

So after some basic searching I've found it's eugenics. Why is it always eugenics?

Tldr its a system of body categorization created by William Herbert Sheldon.

His system was based on the bodies of ivy league men, from his Wikipedia article, a quote from Ron Rosenbaum about it:

"He believed that every individual harbored within him different degrees of each of the three character components. By using body measurements and ratios derived from nude photographs, Sheldon believed he could assign every individual a three-digit number representing the three components, components that Sheldon believed were inborn -- genetic -- and remained unwavering determinants of character regardless of transitory weight change. In other words, physique equals destiny."

Heres the Wikipedia about the system and the creator.

ecto- meso- endo- are references to layers of development "He created these terms borrowing from the three germ layers of embryonic development: The endoderm, (which develops into the digestive tract), the mesoderm, (which becomes muscle, heart, and blood vessels) and the ectoderm (which forms the skin and nervous system)." In short it's inner, middle, outer. morph means "form or structure".

Now to the point: broish alpha male believer types are eugenists with a fresh coat of paint. Not surprised they are frothing over ANOTHER chance to say they are genetically destined to be great or to be a loser. They look for excuses for not working on their personalities or manners and eugenics is easy. They want easy excuses and think using outdated crap "science" makes them look smart.

As for why other groups of people would use the term (such as the team behind that height comparison website) I can assume the worse or I can assume they needed a system for sorting and thought the terms sounded "professional".

Trying to be considerate for people who don't want to hear about this or might be dealing with an ED. This is me just rambling/venting, it's nothing important.
