Finding a poorly-secured public facing API is exactly how injections work, whether it's SQL or prompts. If I put SQL commands in a username field and it works, it's still an SQL injection even if it's just developer incompetence.
The difference between that and prompt injection is that unfiltered LLM inputs are basically the standard at the moment, so it takes next to no effort.
Plus I think the Morse code example is far more clever and exploits the LLM directly, whereas the white text trick has been around long before widespread LLMs.
