Sorry yeah, I forgot about how the term has been mangled over the years. I was coming from a 3GPP perspective where the term is specifically defined as experience [0]

In particular:

* only the QoS perceived by end-user matter

* QoS definitions have to be future proof;

* QoS has to be provided end-to-end.

* QoS attributes (or mapping of them) should not be restricted to one or few external QoS control mechanisms

Not the first time the ivory tower of Telecomms has been out of touch with the outside world ...
