I wonder if those were terms used nationally and just fell out of favor as game stages were increasingly not limited to one screen, or if they were primarily used in the part of the Midwest where I lived when I was very young.

That's probably because with the advent of 3D games, screens no longer made sense as a unit of measurement.

Not even 3D games. Even by the NES era most games had levels that extended well beyond the single-screen stages of earlier games like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Q*Bert, Crystal Castles, etc etc.

Remember when we measured progress by disc in FMV adventures?

I still hear "screen" from time to time in reference to text-based and point-and-click adventure games, but in today's market that's a fairly niche genre.
