You may not object but that’s not how the word is commonly used. Anyone can call themselves anything, but for words to have any meaning we need to have a gentleman’s agreement about when and how to use them, which is basically what a language is.
Anyway, I’m just explaiming the word’s conventional meaning. I have no interest in arguing with you as if I were some kind of linguistic prescriptivist.
