I'm not really a fan of the term because it covers a huge variety of people and the most vocal ones are working here and there and largely just prioritizing the idealized "digital nomad life".

Then there are people, like you said, who are renting apartments for weeks/months, prioritizing quiet work spaces, and often continuing to hold full time jobs.

I'm kind of in this category right now and am certainly never working from the beach. I went to Latin America so I could find apartments with good internet and continue to work in the same timezone that I started out in.
